Smaug, the Magnificent

This one was done a little more recently, in December of '08 as a collaboration between myself and ! She did the exquisite coloration and I just did the linework.

It was done for our dad for Christmas (don't have artists for kids, we are poor) since he is a Tolkien fanatic. I dunno why I chose to do Smaug from The Hobbit... it just seemed to fit. He is kind of a mish-mosh between Tolkien's watercolor and Rankin-Bass's animated version. 'Cause he is bad-ass.
