Happy 58th Anniversary to Disney’s The Jungle Book.

A few years ago I asked @chibijenhen.bsky.social for a drawing of Mephiles the dark… two years later in 2023, I got it!!! She’s so great and to show her my gratitude… I colored it in on Clip Studio Paint.

Loved how it turned out.
Thank you Jen!

Hello, hope you had a fun week. Cause, I celebrated my 30th Birthday on the 18th!
Before that I got a picture drawn by the famous Don Bluth.

Jacquimo from Thumbelina(1994).

I loved it so much, had to scan and color it on my iPad!

I have to say this…

@donbluth.bsky.social is the best animator that anyone can ask for! His talented, original storytelling, is the best tales of nostalgia I’ve ever seen and inspired in my lifetime.

To Don Bluth,
thank you!!

Again it’s a reference of Kaa from The Jungle Book(1967) if Don Bluth @donbluth.bsky.social drew him.

Here’s a new fanart subject I wanted to try, ‘The Wizarding World’.

This is a redraw of ‘The Vanishing Glass’ Scene.

These are wizard and witch, Ian and Alex at the Zoo in 1980. Ian accidentally sets free the 30ft Tiger Reticulated Python named ‘Kaaduin’. He thanks Ian and hopes to meet him again.
This is the redraw of ‘The Vanishing Glass’ Scene with the original ontop. The adopted wizard and witch, Ian and Alex, are at the Zoo in 1980. At the reptile house, Ian accidently set free the Giant Tiger Reticulated Python named Kaaduin. The snake then passed them. Thanks Ian in parseltongue and hopes to see him again. Ian nervously replies ‘Hope so too.’ not knowing he learned parseltongue. ‘Alex, did you see that?’ Ian asked Alex nervously. ‘Yes, but let’s get outta here!’ Alex replied.

Here’s an old piece I made. I have to admit… Kaa is one of my favorite Disney Villains.

It’s of my OC in Kingdom Hearts with Kaa in Kipling’s Jungle from ‘The Jungle Book.’

Here's something I work on with @donbluth.bsky.social at his university. It's of Banjo the Cat playing in water.

I've done this as an alumni student for his class of 2024 after graduating back in June.😇

Here is an old piece I posted on DeviantArt. It's called 'Dark Fire' inspired by Disney's 'Hellfire' from 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' but with Darkrai singing it.

The Story goes he has to make a choice let Cresselia live or end her.
