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.

Have you ever heard of Immodesty Blaize? Amazing burlesque dancer, you should check her out, she looks like a living cartoon!

(btw, this is great).

Yeah, what a woman huh!! I did a photo study of her (which is in my gallery), but I particularly love this photo... [link]
Sadly she's lost a lot of weight recently and gone blonde (although she looks awesome blonde).

Cheers mate! I'm a big fan of the character so it was a real honour to get asked to do some covers.

Thanks! Her outfit is often drawn as a flat black in the comic, but I wanted to add a little more detail to her outfit for the cover, particularly as its already fairly sparce.

I admire the work on the folds on the shirt. They always get the better of me. Excellent filigree too.

Thanks ma'am. I enjoy the challenges of painting folds and cloth - always time consuming and tricky - if you get it right, not many people notice, but if I get it wrong it bugs the hell out of me.... so thanks for noticing The sword in the comic was of a much plainer variety, but I really loved the patterns in one I saw so I decided to go all out on it in painting the cover.
Cheers!

Thanks! Funny thing is it took me longer to paint it than her face. Half way through I kind of wish I'd picked a simpler style (more like in the actual comic), but I'm glad I persisted with complicated one.

Luddeking In reply to Loopydave [2011-06-07 09:56:11 +0000 UTC]

Glad too see that your back.



I really like this one. It's simplistic, but in an very creative way.

The colors are really nice as well. I really dig how the blue background is slightly shading Modesty's clothes, it looks sweet.

This is an great start of your Modesty laise covers this year. I'am very excited on seeing how the next ones will look.
