Description
Commission from NYCC 2015; Copic marker, ink, white paint pen, charcoal pencil.This was a whole lot of fun. I really enjoy taking the Naruto cast and drawing them slightly more realistically; if I had free reign on this I probably would have modified his design a bit more, just in some small ways, to emphasize his character. I always saw Jiraiya as a sort of wandering vagabond/hobo guru. Like a homeless street-person version of Yoda. He's scruffy and skeezy and maybe a little creepy, until you get to know him and find out his genius and his heart.
Anyway, the commissioner of the piece was thinking of completing the three Sannin, and I really really hope I get to tackle Tsunade and Orochimaru in this same style.

Wow! All your art's amazing!
How do you use the charcoal in your art? Do you blend it in, or make the lines darker? Maybe I'm ignorant, but I haven't heard of using it with copics before. Though I assume it goes on after the markers, right?

We use white charcoal pencils to add some highlights. We like them because you can blend them to add a slight gradient, and we can use white paint pens over them for the brightest highlights. Colored pencil doesn't blend, and it's waxy so the paint doesn't go over it well.

That's a good idea! I'll have to try that out sometime!

Best non-Kishimoto version of Jiraiya ever! I like how you put the Peeping Tom and the Toad Sage into one viewing of the character.

I mean... he kind of is though, right? As much as he creeps on women, spies on bathhouses, gets right up to the line with that stuff, I'm surprised he hasn't been arrested for being a peeping tom or something by now. He's not a convicted criminal, but he's definitely a little skeevy. But with a heart of gold, of course!

Simply awesome! Jiraiya was my favorite of the sennin.

I liked him a lot, but Tsunade was my favorite. She takes no shit, gives no shit, is a very high-functioning alcoholic, has sass for days, and can break stone boulders with her fists. That's my kinda lady!
