Description So I felt like drawing neat hair. I'm a big fan of artsy tattooed guys who spend a ridiculous amount of time coiffing their hair and dying it unnatural colors. Well, I'm a big fan of looking at them, anyway. I don't actually talk to them because they always look scary or pretentious or something XD

A twenty-something Valentino, I guess. I don't know why I drew him older; it just started out as a doodle, and I liked it enough to color it. I dunno what Valentino is doing in his mid-twenties, but I know it involves art and looking pretty XD

Yeah, I know his feet are too small. Also, I can never get Valentino's skin dark enough. Must work on that!

But his expression and body language seem so open and friendly... the hair is simply gorgeous, and the pink skull is such a sweet contrast of symbols - like femininity meets death...

he's a cuutie ^^

haha i do that too...watch the skinny-jean emo-ish guys with the awesome hair dying ... i tend to stop and stare all misty-eyed til they turn out of sight and then i snap back into the ongoing conversation with my friends like "huh? what?" xD but yes, i never have the confidence or nerve to walk up and talk to them...

is the title somehow realted to that song by Cartel? It's a pretty cool song
well, but in what concerns the drawing itself... It's a lovely character. The hair is awesome and I love those tattoos, and that t-shirt and... well, all of him looks great. You're right, the feet do look a bit too small, and that's the only thing I can point out. Other than that, it really looks great

Aww, that's too bad. When I was in London, though, I saw many loooovely British indie boys We don't have that many boys like that around here, either, though the internet is full of them! I wonder where they all live?

hehe, my boyfriend is one of those "artsy tattooed guys who spend a ridiculous amount of time coiffing their hair and dying it unnatural colors", only he is a rocker and I'm the artist. ^_^ hehe
But yeah, I just bleached his hair today so he can go for a new look, lol.
I like the pic. You rock my socks. ^_^
