FUNK TILL THE BITTER FUCKING END!!

So this is the pimped out version of the right hand side image of the Badfunk Triptych.

Not really much to say here other than that it was hella fun to do some serious rendering again. I don't think I'll be painting any of the other Triptych pieces like this, cause frankly I don't have a lot of time, and other, to me more pressing, ideas in my head that need to come out.

By the way, let me know what you think of the typography. I just want to know if it's readable to you. The kind of effect I am going for is that it is easily enough readable when you're looking at it, but doesn't constantly penetrate your vision when it's only in the corners of your eyes, if that makes sense. Basically I hope it's not super distracting and attention demanding, but not hard to read either when you try.

Just for fun, process screen shots:

Plus, some people asked for wallpaper version of the Triptych. I never provided any of those. If there's still interest, let me know. Meanwhile, here's a wallpaper-able version of this one: [link]

Done entirely in Photoshop CS.

Pin stripes are ballin'.

Let no one rob you of that powerful motivational force known as vision...seeing not only what is...but what can be.
what an incredible mood man...
love the mixed styles and the color values
it's extremely hot
the textures really add some flavor
Very nice. I like the text and how it envelopes his arm. I read it fine without any problems though it might pose a problem for others. I also think it's very detailed but in this piece it works. If it was anything more simple it would lose the effectiveness it brings.

Glad to see something fresh from you man, and not the usual characters. the type is cool, but it may have some problems when printing if not handled right. I dont think that the eye will get distracted much from the main guy if you increase the intensity of the type just a bit more.
Afterall you are your best critic if you see or feel something wrong, dont fool yourself and fix it.

i'll have a quesadilla.
This is a great big plate of yes! I love this style, you need to have more like this. The detail is amazing. You have each small ridge separately shaded with an equally important part as the big areas. The added red and yellow on the skin, and the glossy finish and stripes on the coat are phenomenal. You are amazing. It looks like a comic, but feels like a painting, and has design aspects (the smoke). This IS my new wallpaper. I would do a screen cap right now, but I think you believe me.
Oh dang!
now this is all kinds of wicked right here.

that jacket's lighting is so realistic, it's ridiculous
