Description New issue of Agent X9 "Warlords of phoenix" Modesty story and the second cover I did for the magazine (first one here [link] ) Its just hitting the streets in Sweden so I have permission to post it.

Big Modesty Blaise fan, so it was really great to get another go at a cover - a few more of them and I might start getting a real handle on the character .

All 13 covers for this year can be found at the official Modesty Blaise Agenxt X9 blogsite [link] and include work from Modesty artist Romero and the talented Kim Andersson - the blog is running a "cover of the year" poll there, so go vote if you like!

Lovely as always!!!
Do you use reference when you workout your painting! and if so do you shoot your own photo ref?

The more realistic I want a picture, the more important reference is. If I could, I'd love to shoot reference for everything - it really makes working SO much easier and quicker, but often its a case of taking my original drawing and then hunting down scraps from books, magazines etc to get that extra bit of detail that I cant work out for myself, right. This pic though, I had the services of my fabulous friend, who not only can swing a mean sword, but looks a bit like Modesty herself.

Jesus, Dave.

This is sensationally good.

I'm amazed.

The whole thing is outta sight...but something about her shoulder is super impressive.

Dumbell shoulder presses is the secret. Gives the shoulder good size and tone. Actually used my friend as reference for this one and she's got great shoulders, so I'll just blame her
Cheers my friend!

Jag köpte det här numret direkt när jag såg vem det var som hade gjort omslaget. Herrejäklars vad snyggt det är.


Hoppas att du och dem på Agent X-9 kommer fortsätta jobba tillsammans, för jag har inee sett så här bra omslag på...jag vet inte hur länge.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Usually Modesty is drawn in her signature black top and pants, but in this story she wears white a bit too, and it really helped make her stand out from the background.
Cheers ma'am!

Cheers mate! Have been pretty busy and could do with a little extra sleep, though this ones from nearly 2 months back - all part of that delay when dealing with print and distribution
