Gigolo hipster<\/p><\/div>\n

This guy is ready for some low class<\/a>, 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<\/a>‘s\u00a0 clone tool here — I made essentially one ear (an ellipse<\/a> to path), one curl of hair (a spiral to path), and one eye<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n
