Well, this is the second drawing I wanted to do, in order to explain why Nagato is actually good person, although hated.
For a detailed description on why Nagato Pain was hated later on, refer to the first submission ![]()
Now, as a kid, he experienced great pain and suffering, as his village was destroyed, along with all friends and family. Then, he found two other war orphans ~ yahiko, and konan. The three of them struggled to survive, and one day, Jiraiya came across them. Jiraiya felt sad for the kids, and for three years, took care of them, and trained them to be Ninjas. ![]()
This is a scene when Nagato is patted on the head by Jiraiya. Unfortunately, later on, Pain froms the criminal organisation ~ the Akatsuki, and also kills his own master Jiraiya ~ this is why he was despised so much.
Well, I still like Nagato Pain... and this drawing must show that.
The situation is ~ Night time, with moonlight falling on Nagato's face, and dark skies in the background.
The preliminary draft of this drawing is here. ![]()
An intermediate state of shading is here. ![]()
I'm posting these links because they may be used to compare my work.
I tried my very best to show the rain through proper shading ~ hopefully it does ~ but I have a lot to improve though, and I will. ![]()

Comments are most appreciated.
