Description I was contemplating whether or not to get in on this one but I realize i've gotta get my ass moving and keep putting stuff out otherwise i'm going to procrastinate to hell.

Originally the characters didn't strike me as anything interesting, until I saw the reference material with Mowgli in it and got some ideas. That played out here. I'd liked to have added more detail and trees and stuff but here's what i've got.

It's usually pretty tough for me to get in on the cartoon stuff because the styles are so exaggerated and it's tough to nail down. I try and always push for the realism and so the blending of the two doesn't always work. Still not sure this worked out but I had fun trying anyway.

Thanks for having a look!

Yep. Kinda scribbly but that's it. I think the only reason why is because I was keeping up with the sketch challenges. Generally the time limit is 30 minutes, but I can't draw anything in 30 minutes lol.

Thanks man! Yeah i'm not very good with classic cartooning. There's a lot of technical stuff going on in those works and its deceptive how they look simple but are very challenging to make look right. I kinda winged this one lol. Glad you like it!

Your welcome. I think that Kaa's face is verry similar to original. Just head is to big(it should by a little bigger than Mowglis) and his body should by slimmer. But thanks to it isn't it looks more dramatic. By the way, what mean DSC?
