From Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book", Bagheera stalks his prey, shedding shadows through the ochre forest. I'll be upfront and say that drawing animals is a weakness of mine (specifically horses, that's a big one haha) but I had this idea of him stalking about and bits/flecks of shadows begin to shed off of his body as he makes his way about.

Imagine how intimidating that would be to others
