Description

Modesty Blaise is the heroine of Peter O'Donnell's action/adventure comic strip and prose novels. I love the strip artwork by Jim Holdaway and Romero, but sometimes commission other depictions. This is one of Gene Gonzales' conventionless convention sketches. I use to follow Gene's blogspot and rediscovered him on Patreon this year. I was overdue for a commission and asked for a color piece combining my last two ink requests of Modesty and the Chinese cheongsam. I recall Modesty wearing the fashionable dress in her London apartment in one of the stories. In another story Mister Sun, Modesty used a cheongsam as a disguise. The drug kingpin seeks his revenge on Modesty by holding her friend captive and forcing her to transport drugs from Hong Kong to Viet Nam. When Modesty arrives in a Hong Kong hotel, she disguises herself as a drunken bargirl and gets herself arrested by local police. Once in jail, she reveals herself to a British inspector and plots to foil Mister Sun's scheme. Gene used ink/watercolor/Col-Erase pencil and some acrylic.

That's AWESOME!!! I won't SWEAR to this (because it was almost 15 years ago), but I THINK Gene told me that my sketchbook has his FIRST EVER drawing of Modesty Blaise ... done as a surprise sketch for me. I've told him several times since then how EXPENSIVE that sketch was (he drew it at no charge, but it turned me into a MB fan ... see how many MB strips I have bought since then, plus the cost of every MB graphic novel and first editions of every novel!!!) My sketch is not NEARLY as cool as your lavish illustration, but it's still pretty cool ... https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=144744
