Mowgli put up his strong brown hand, and just under Bagheera's silky chin, where the giant rolling muscles were all hid by the glossy hair, he came upon a little bald spot.
"There is no one in the jungle that knows that I, Bagheera, carry that mark -- the mark of the collar; and yet, Little Brother, I was born among men, and it was among men that my mother died -- in the cages of the King's Palace at Oodeypore. It was because of this that I paid the price for thee at the Council when thou wast a little naked cub. Yes, I too was born among men. I had never seen the jungle. They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was Bagheera, the Panther, and no man's plaything, and I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw, and came away; and because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than Shere Khan. Is it not so?"
"Yes," said Mowgli; "all the jungle fear Bagheera -- all except Mowgli."
--Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book
A belated happy birthday to one of my favourite authors.
Ahh, I love Jungle Book illustrations. This was a good choice of scene. I really like how you actually made the dark spots on Bagheera, instead of just coloring him black
You illustrated the story well here. I love the darkness in the picture; all the shadows with the bits of light as if the trees are letting only a little through.
Sets a nice mood.
