Description "The moon sets," Kaa said. "Is there yet light enough to see?"
From the walls came a moan like the wind in the tree-topsβ€” "We see, O Kaa."
"Good. Begins now the danceβ€”the Dance of the Hunger of Kaa. Sit still and watch."

Kaa and the Bandar-log (c) Rudyard Kipling

Probably one of the most interesting ideas and characters of the book.

Awesome! This may help because you did say it WAS a dance! *Dances the Futterwacken*

God! Finally! A picture of him from the actual book! You've done a gorgeous job here. I love the detail, and the coloring. The lighting and trees in the background are beautiful! Was this done in colored pencil, paint, or something else?

Great work! You should do a piece on the song of the Bandar-Log. "Brother, thy tail swings down behind!"

Oh my god, this is incredible. Kaa vs the Bandar-log is one of the best parts of the Jungle Book and I am so glad someone on DA chose to illustrate this scene. You've really captured the strange, otherworldly and fearful atmosphere of the scene.

Now, my friends, this is what Kaa should have been like in the Disney movie, the badass who saves Mowgli from the monkeys. This Kaa is awesome; this Kaa is Rudyard Kipling's Kaa.

There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary for this artwork. Thank you for reminding me of the enchantment!

Absolutely love it! This was such an eerie and chilling and surreal and otherworldly scene, and you captured it perfectly in every way! I also almost feel sorry for those little monkey s**ts. Almost.

Welcome to the club! Kaa was nothing less than majestic in the book and the movie reduced her to a third-rate, villainess. Of all the stupid moves...!

I like both versions of Kaa actually. It's just that there isn't much fanart of the Kipling version (just really bad ones of the Disney version.)
