Description
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.
//EDIT: by the way, beats me why I didn't mention this three years ago or whenever I posted this, but I didn't invent the type. I don't want to take credit for something I didn't do, Eduardo Recife from Misprinted Type ( [link] ) is the brilliant mind responsible for that. I hand lettered this particular one, just for the visual effect. Also, that's not supposed to be an excuse, if you think that anything about the typography doesn't work it's definitely my fault. Just wanted to give credit where it's due (even if waaaaaaayyyyyy too late, really).

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.

This is one of the drawings that makes me love you!!! Those of the funky stuff, but, the better is that long one with the three faces and all the smoke...itΒ΄s, so dark and funny at the same time.
Pd: Nah, dont love you, but hate you!!!

Dude! That is awesome!
As a side note, though, it was a little hard for me to read the text near the bottom at first.

So amazingly incredible. : D
I love the dark, moody colors. And yes, the type is very readable but not distracting at all.

holy jesus this is amazing. I loooove the colors and just the general dark feel of this, and I love how you did the smoke. But damn I still can't get over hte colors and lighting. I also really like the wrinkles and textures on his skin/hand, it makes him look so realistic. Very nice job [:

Great work! Amazing!!
Just one question, the smoke do you use only pen tool and stroke paths on teh base construction?

FabianMonk In reply to MizterZed [2008-03-19 16:26:37 +0000 UTC]
No actually I just used a regular old one pixel size brush, I didn't really know how to use the pen tool when I made this. I still don't, not really anyway...

Hello Monk Art,
Thank you a lot for the Hi-Quality Wallpaper version. I really love the flair and style and the gloomy but cool atmosphere.
It's now decorating my desktop.
One short crit. The spelling would be more visible if it has the same colour value as the smoke above or at least ab little brighter.
Yours Ghost of K

Looks sweet, I really like the way the wording came out, it certainly blends into the picture very calmly while at the same time it it remains very easily read.
Nice work.
