based on the jungle books by rudyard kipling. and the disney adapted movie.
bagheera (the panther) was a biiiitch to do.
wolves... light gray-akela... and darker one....hm father wolf?
kaa (the snake) on the top and hathi (the elephant) and of course....mowgli, the little frog. i drew him in a young adult form. and yeah, he doesn't wear any clothes.
oh yes. credits. umm leaf brushes and the texture for snakeskin from [link]
I suspect the only reason the original Jungle Books have never been cited for nudity and violence is that the moral campaigners involved in such things just assume the books are like the Disney version, so I guess that's one thing we can be grateful to Walt for.
I love those stories about feral children. I grew up with stories about Mowgli, Bomba, and Tarzan. In Europe, there is a feral girl popular in comic books named Pyrenee who is raised by a bear. The comic is not allowed in this new up-tight America, simply because this feral child is nude. Rudyard Kipling could not have published his jungle books in this oppressed America.
Also, your Hathi looks like an African, not an Indian elephant.
