The underbite on Kaa is great - it makes him almost prehistoric. In the upper left image, you do a good job showing attitude while also conveying his great length. That's one thing you might play with more; Kaa's body is described in the book more than his face. It's a huge part of his personality and presence, so it's something you'll have grapple. Baloo is a fun mix of dangerous and comical, and the anatomical liberties are believable. With the environments, too, good clarity on forms. Some are still falling into fairly shallow depths of field which you could help break up with a quick foreground fern or the like. Or the next level of painting you might do to these would give value that would suggest atmospheric perspective.
