Artist's Comments

This is my depiction of Smaug, the great worm from The Hobbit. I refined his body form some sketches I had done, wow, dragons are hard as hell to come up[ with proportions for. I mixed in tons of different animal parts and put em together to create a dragon, a dogs hind legs, tyrannosaurus forearms, a bird beak, then I had to portray parts of him wlll described such as his jewel encrusted undersides. Overall, a fun exercise in creation. Theres a hobbit, man, and dwarf under his neck to give a sense of scale.

Awesome picture indeed, the details are great (although hobbits don't wear boots).

uno questione! why are the wings see through? is that a fashion statement?
and i love how you set up proportion by drawing the people... good job. i think he's a skinny dragon.

lolm thanks man, the wings are not truly, "see through", but simply transluscent it shows that they're a bit thin, and yes hes quite skinny, a bit emaciated even from sleeping all day and never really eating...
