This may not be his final colors (This isn't even my final form!) but I still like these colors enough to post this.

I was kinda going to the 80's Metal Band style of hair when making the mane. Also, working at a piercing and tattoo style of establishment, I wanted him to look the part. I also have a few piercings and am soon getting more, so I based the placement on that. I have yet to make a final decision on if I should give him a nose ring or not. I liked it in his early stages of concept art, but I got less sure about how it looked later on.
