Yes, another Jiraiya portrait. I totally blame Bryan Adams for this one.
The thing he holds is supposed to be the end/handle of a pen or brush.
Alternatively it could be the end of a pipe if you wish.


"To really love a woman
Let her hold you, until you know how she needs to be touched
You have got to breathe her, really taste her
Until you can feel her in your blood
And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know ya really love a woman

Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
You know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
That she is really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she is the one
Because she needs somebody to tell her
That it is going to last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman?"

(from 'Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman', by Bryan Adams)

I really love this!
His smile is what really gets me. :) The treatments you used on it are wonderful as well. It really finishes off the image nicely. :D

God, I love Jiraiya! XD

I see dumb people... they're everywhere.
They walk around like everyone else.
They don't even know that they are dumb!

Oh I adore that song. It's grand when they influence us so. And that silhouette behind him.... wonderfully placed to give such a softer feel to this image. Nicely done.
