Looking good. I like the depth of it, with the blurring and the side and all. Cool colouring as well. Not entirely fan of the vertical stripes though, sorta messing with his natural flow.
i love everything except the text. perhaps remove the clipping mask and leave as it is with some blending?
Brilliant piece, but yeah text is awful, i actually didn't know there was text til i read mesa's comment.
Sweet sig dude. The version without the text is better. I'm not sure how I feel about the vertical clipping mask stripes. You could try rotating them to compliment the flow of the composition, maybe that would make things more interesting.
