This is part-three of a larger commission I’ve been working on in the background for a long time. The monkeys continue to have their way with Mowgli in the trees, even while the sun goes down.

This is the second part of four for the “Monkeying Around” series I was commissioned to do a while ago. The first part can be found here. The monkeys have been toying with Mowgli for a while, and he’s starting to lose some of his bluster. They’re far from done, however, as the little man cub still has a long day ahead of him.

I don’t know for sure when I will get to the next part of this. The client who commissioned this is one of my oldest ones and tends to commission me on the side (he and I have a unique arrangement that was grandfathered in from before I started getting popular), so it’s likely he’ll have me doing some other pics before getting back to this project. The lineart for all of them has been done for a while, though, and I think the last two parts will go over well with anyone who likes these first two.

First off, let me say that this isn’t part of the Twenty. This is actually an older commission I took on a few months ago, but due to the size and scope of it I’ve been working on it as a background project (like I do the comic pages).

This commission comes in four parts, which will be released whenever I finish them. I just recently wrapped up this first part, featuring our boy Mowgli when he’s first been captured by those pesky monkeys. It’s been a while since “The Jungle Book” has shown up here, and I hope you guys are as happy as I am to have Mowgli around again.
