Very nice portrait of Elin, James.
But ... who would be Modesty Blaise ?

Heh heh Modesty Blaise is an old 1970's comic book heroine, Pierre, I just thought that Elin had the same beautiful dark looks as the character, thank you

But the portrait looks great even when you do not know who the character is !

Actually, abbas, neither do I, no real significance really I just thought it set off the plain appearance of her shirt! glad you like though

Nice abs.. at first glance I thought it was Pauline but then I saw the bigger one. Great colours again.. I like how you vary your colours so much, it's never boring or the same..

James you are a genious! That is the last image I'd have of Elin, but you capture an incredible resemblance and gave her darkness. Great job! I'm sure she loved it!!

Heh heh I'm glad you like, Coty, I guess that taking someone and putting them in a totaly different situation outside their normal character and setting is part of the appeal for me....and hopefully them too

Once again: awesome work. I especially love how you did the lighting on the jacket and how you are drawn to look at the gorgeous face first of all.

A very nice work on its own terms, but it bears absolutely no resemblance to Peter O'Donnell's Modesty Blaise. What made you pick that title?

Ah well, Chastity, it is really my update on the "Modesty Blaise" idea from the 70's but with a much younger and hip heroine, I thought that the half hidden crossbow gave her that little hint of danger associated with the original too...also the leather jacket idea was inspired from the french movie :Assasin" which had touches of Modesty Blaise in it's main character
