That is sick as hell.
I don't usually go for elaborate patterns. I think the 14s body is to detailed with 3D elements to introduce a lot of graphics. Looks like you have an overall texture effect going with isolated skull vignettes. REALLY nice. Extremely well concieved. Whoever the artist was, he has taste and talent.

Oh my god, dude! Your painter is a F#@)(*&ing FREAK! I love it. I want that bike. Don't do any appearance mods. I don't think yuou could do a lot to make that bike look better.
If I could do that on a bike, could I make money?

Heranamous Bosch lives. And now he paints bikes. It's supposed to scare the hell out of people and I bet it does.

I can appreciate the effort and the art, but not for me.
The first mods you need to do are remove flies, pipe, pc, remove mud flap and the reflectors..
A bike as custom as that with the horsecock rear fender and reflectors just isn't right.
A smoked windscreen, and smoked signal light lenses would really add to the "dark " artwork.

i agree with dubious
it looks like you simply dropped off the plastics at the painter along with a few grand, and let him go to work. frankly, i dont see any direction - just looks like a stock bike with some nightmarish off-the-wall paintjob with no specific theme, the rest of the bike just doesnt following the underlying idea. i hate OEM plastics, you shouldve gone with catalyst.
a few things i would have done before the paint,
lose the mirrors and mudflap
rear hugger with chainguard, painted
zx10 fender, painted
smooth foreman grills, painted
smooth ram air covers, painted
puig double bubble dark smoke screen
powdercoated or aftermarket wheels
shave off blinkers, relocate into headlights and taillight/undertail
brake lines
painted dash
tobin seat
and every bolt on aftermarket part available.

The windshield needs painted to match the bike. Like how the roaring toyz bikes are that would be a first for me just to make the windshield not look like an after thought.

money?
I used to do some airbrushing for illustrations. Advertising, product rendering, etc.. Airbrushing wasn't my specialty but I could do nice work. It took me a lot longer than an airbrush pro though. Been thinking about practicing for bikes. I think I'd need the right facileties + I don't think a lot of people are going to be wanting artwork on a bike these days if they can afford the bike in the first place.
I think there is an obvious theme to the artwork. The message is obscure but from an art perspective, that is a good thing IMO (if the message has to be perfectly clear, why use a picture - just write some words - they are much more effective at conveying meaning more precisely).
This bike is the Doomsday bike of the Apocolypse. That's how I see it. That motiff has been done plenty but so what - so has every other "motiff." It was well done.
