Nose-ring Dude by Nahashon John

I was working on this vector portrait intending to go all the way to giving the guy hair. The guy in the reference I was using had a mini Afro hair. When I got to the point of adding the hair, I noticed the portrait looked really cool against the default black background I was originally working with. And right there, I stopped. I decided the entire background will be the dude's hair. And I am a sucker for space and the universe. So I added stars in the background and a hint of light from the left and, that was it!
