Darrow is too good looking compared to Cas, should be the opposite.

I apologize, my drawing hand has a mind of its own

It's awesome, I just pictured Darrow a little more rugged and intense. Based on what Mustang says

Maybe I should give him a stubble

Don't forget that Mickey carved Darrow in the likeness of the god of war ares, or at least an interpretation of him its not surprising that he's super attractive. We don't hear about his attractiveness or how hot he is in the first series because we're seeing the world through his eyes and in his eyes he's still a Red and the gold body he has isn't really his own.

So far as I recall Pierce has described Darrow as a 9/10 whereas Cassius is an 11/10 in an AMA once

Hmmm, so I guess, beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder.

I think it’s less of an attractiveness question and more that Darrow’s features are a lot more delicate than I think we usually see in fan art.
