This is an early version of a poster for queens of the stone age. I went with this concept because I feel it fits their style pretty appropriately. Any feedback would be great, thanks!
missing finger aside it takes a minute to decipher the tattoo, and since that's the band's name instant recognition is kind of important. At first I thought they were tiger stripes. perhaps making it darker or a different color would help?

which... the tatoo? Really I guess it depends on the purpose of the piece, but it's difficult to imagine a purpose for a band's poster other than marketing...

I think it looks great but agree with jhouse that the hand looks a bit weird, it creates a sort of an illusion that the index finger is the little finger and then my mind sort of fry's. Perhaps it's another quirk.

but the wall paper motif in the background isn't doing it for me. I saw your artwork, amazing. I'd do this by hand, with looser linework. I might be assuming here, but was this done on computer?
Thanks. Yeah, the wallpaper may be a little much, since I have to carpet design there. I did the original drawings by hand, and then vectorized it. I was hoping to get some clean lines, and have the background kind of secondary to everything else. I think I'll try and clean up some of the line work,to make it a little more believable. Thanks for the comments!
It looks great as your work
It looks great as your work always does!
I cant help but feel that the absence of the little finger is kinda weird.

I think its cool that it doesnt stand out. Kinda makes it quirky.

Dude
Keep it by hand. Seriously. I think a loose sketchy feel would be more appropriate for this project rather than clean vectorized lines.
