Description The first of 4 Modesty covers for me this year with a closer view of Modesty thrown in for good measure...the issue just hit the streets so it should be okay to post the artwork.

Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.
No beautiful women were harmed in the painting of this cover.

This is so cool Dave. I always enjoy seeing your work. Love the detail in sword handle, very nice. Are you just doing the cover work for this book?

Cheers! I'm doing a hand full of covers, but the interior art is reprints of the classic British Modesty Blaise newspaper runs.

Looks a bit like Liv Tyler (I'm tellin'). When she pulls the gun hanging behind her left hip there will be some shock and dismay for somebody...

Confucius says "always bring a large gun to a sword fight".
I'm betting 'Liv' here probably doesn't need the gun to cause some shock and dismay though

you really deliver, as always. ^^ there was a black and white tiny sneak peak at the next cover, and modesty's cheek bones may have made me go "meeepomigod!" outloud.

Knock out work yet again. Your studio chair must practically be attached to your behind. Great work.

seriously?
do you ever produce anything just 'awesome' instead of mind meltingly brilliant ?

The rendering is always top notch with your work, pencils are amazing too but your colour work is masterful fella, so jealous lol

Loopydave In reply to Mull-Art [2011-06-08 12:57:50 +0000 UTC]

Cheers man. Nice of you to say. Was a graphic designer for years and it didn't leave me much time to do anything other than black and white stuff for myself and have had to work hard on my colour work since freelancing as an illustrator.

jeebus man, is it just that you work on multiple projects at a time or are you just that fast creating your artwork? You're level of detail is always so great. That sword hilt makes me want to punch someone in the face. ya crushed it sir...crushed it!

Loopydave In reply to GaryLaibArt [2011-06-07 15:33:32 +0000 UTC]

Lol! Cheers man!! I wouldnt call me fast though - I usually have multiple jobs running concurrently and I spend a LOT of time in the studio every day.
This cover was done in March this year - with print there is always that delay between handing in artwork and it hitting the public eye - actually done one more since this one and soon it will be time to get working on the third one.

GaryLaibArt In reply to Loopydave [2011-06-07 17:24:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I understand production. I currently work as the lead artist at a video game company and I spend 10 to 11 hours a day in the office pluggin away. Although, I have yet to show really any of my work to the public. (also, most of it is not my favorite stuff) The games industry, at least the one I'm in, doesn't allow me much turnaround time on concepts so even though I work quickly, I'm usually not able to get a polished finish on my work.

Do you have any advice that my help? Practice yes, every day, but if you have a magic wand I could borrow....

lol, I'll just keep pluggin away!

Keep it up my friend.

Gary
