This guy is ready for some low class, slimy, slicked back action. He just got done hanging out on the corner, and figured it was time to find some other way to get up to no good. I made a lot of use of Inkscape‘s clone tool here — I made essentially one ear (an ellipse to path), one curl of hair (a spiral to path), and one eye (a rectangle to path with a live path effect curve and a node edited bump for a pupil). His head is a manipulated rectangle to path. His shoulders and undershirt are the same. His mustache, ‘beard’, mouth, nose, ear hole, and slicked back sides are all quick pencil marks. I finished with a multi stop gradient in the background, and I duplicated the hipster, performed conversions of all of the shapes, clones and other elements to paths, then did a union which I blurred a bit and colored for a slight glow effect. Hella fun.

My cousin, Vinny?
Yeah — that’s about where it is.
