Description
This is my attempt at Smaug. No he isn't perched upon the Lonely Mountain just in case any Hobbit experts point that out
it is just some rocky rock thing.Painted in Photoshop CS2 and a Whackit Intuos
Thanks for looking
WIP - [link]
P.S For those who haven't read the book, Smaug had a belly encrusted with treasure which made him indestructible, or so he thought, because on his left breast was a bare patch which became his Achilles heel. Bard the Bowman shot an arrow at this patch and killed the cocky dragon.
So the jewels on his chest/belly are not my idea
Smaug wouldn't be Smaug without them.

I really love this rendition of Smaug. Too many people leave out his jewel encrusted belly, so thanks for keeping that <3

Awesome job. I read the book a long time ago and didn't remember the jewel thing. I have to re-read it sometime.

no, not Smaug, I will complain to all Smaug "artists" he is lion faced, furry cheeks and fur down his spin, missing a scale on his chest, VERY red, cat eared and has an under bite.
