Here's the final version of The Good Specialist poster design. It's a fake poster, for a fake film, that maybe some day will be made with probably a different cast.

It's my ode to Blaxploitation movies. From the original version's description:

Went from titles such as "BAD MOTHERF***ER" and "THE BADASS" and "MR BLACK" and "THE BLACK SPECIALIST" (a fitting blaxploitation title) to now, THE GOOD SPECIALIST....I mean, yeah, it's a cheesy title, but I wanted to catch a lower-tier genre title. Something you'd expect a couple of investors to make in 1974 starring no-name black theatre performers and a couple of local football or basketball stars, with the landlord of the investors' apartment complex as the villian.

Also, if you find the text to be "lame", you didn't get the point.

Now for more new things to mention about this version.

GIGANTIC thanks to for allowing the stock use, getting the idea, and suggesting some ideas to make it better! Hopefully it's to your liking, sir.

Also big thanks to for helping me to figure out what was missing when I didn't have the guy in the green suit in there. You're useful for something after all, mate, don't forget that.

And finally, thanks to all the amazing stock artists on DA who've helped supply such great stock art as to allow schlubs like me to do pieces like this!

Quick note first - yes, the credits use some people's nicknames on it. If you DO NOT like your nick being used on the piece (it was just meant in good fun and crediting the artists within the actual work), please note me privately and I'll get rid of it ASAP! Thanks!
