Description
"And it is I, Raksha [The Demon], who answers. The man's cub is mine, Lungri-- mine to me! He shall not be killed. He shall live to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack; and in the end, look you, hunter of little naked cubs-- frog-eater-- fish-killer-- he shall hunt thee! Now get hence, or by the Sambhur that I killed (I eat no starved cattle), back thou goest to thy mother, burned beast of the jungle, lamer than ever thou camest into the world! Go!"--Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book
(Alternate Title: "Mother Wolf's Colossal Smackdown".)

The animals are too hard on Shere Khan. I mean the guy is crippled, he just has to take what he can get, even if thats cattle.

Khan: Chill out lady, all I wanted was to know if my buddy Hobbes(Tiger from Calvin and Hobbes) had passed this way.
Awesome artwork. Keep up the good work.

Sometimes, i can't help but wonder if there's more truth to these feral child legends than meets the eye.

This patr of the story, although directly at the begining always seemed to stick with me. It was more Raksha and Akela the old one who really had a part to play in the story.. disney messed up with quite a few things but his adaption still has its place in my heart i think. Thout i wish the 'initial' one had truely been done instead of the one we have now.

Its a good, drammatic picture from a scene criminally overlooked in most adaptations. But I must ask, why did you portray the wolves as pretty much North American timber wolves? They do not look anything like the wolves of India.

Mostly because then I would have gotten overly-picky comments about people about why the wolves looked like gangly dogs. Ah, an artist's life!

I pity the foo who gets himself stuck in a hole XD Nonetheless, I really like how you made Shere Kahn's face look so well-designed in his expression!

Wow, someone who appreciates the kick-ass book instead of the sucky disney movie. Don't get me wrong, I love Disney, but that movie was fail. -.- Rudyard Kipling, however, rules, as does Raksha... and this drawing!!! iI love this pleasantly rough style.

Oh, Jesus. I read the book, awsome. I love this, looks water coloured (is it?).
They look so realistic but oh so cartoonish on the same time. In simple words: You did a damn great job

This picture is brilliant, I -love- that scene simply because of mother wolf's bad assness ^^
Interestingly, one of the more true to the original but still unique versions is a anime, which puts quite a lot emphasis on the wolf pack politics and life on the jungle (it's a series, so it works).

Wonderful!

Makes me want to read the book!
great job with your art, love it

These are amazing - the animals' faces are so expressive, without seeming to lose any of the realism (I'd love to know how you pulled that one off). The shading and highlights add so much life to the picture, and the texture fits it perfectly. I love the way the rough-looking pen lines give it a sense of urgency and movement.
Also, the excerpts you've posted from the book have made me want to track it down.

I love the expressions of their faces.
specially Shere-Khan.

This is beautifully depicted...I love the thwarted expression on Shere Khan's face, and the wolves' angry territorial expressions. It really captures the epitome of the scene, and draws you in...very well done indeed! Nice colours and style too!
