Smaugby ~zuvelioke

Scraps

Smaug the Magnifiecient also known as Smaug the Golden.

After seeing Hobbit trailer I was challenged to draw this

Definitely not perfect, but I might make a few minor changes later. Walkthrough ->[link]

Graphite pencils, permanent markers, Photoshop and lots of time.

The character belongs to J. R. R. Tolkien.

Nice work, but Smaug is should be red not gold.

~zuvelioke Jan 13, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I did not read it in the original language, but in translation it was indicated that Smaug was gold color

~SharkMaster16 Jan 14, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

That's funny Tolkien described him as being red. I didn't know that he was described as golden in a different language.

~zuvelioke Jan 16, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

It is indeed, that's why I prefer reading original when possible. Pity I have never had an opportunity and time to read Hobbit in English.

~SharkMaster16 Jan 16, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Maybe one day, you never know.

Wonderful! I like how you've made the dragon gold. The scales are really amazing. It reminded me of a great "The Hobbit" graphic novel I've once read.

~zuvelioke Jan 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks

This dragon is indeed the dragon from The Hobbit. Did you know Hobbit film is being created ?

~WH2007 Jan 6, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I know! I can't wait to see it! I hope it wouldn't be in 3D since i can't see such movies.

~zuvelioke Jan 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Me too

The trailer only made the waiting more unbearable. I can't watch 3D movies either, but, at least here, there are always both 3D and 2D versions.

Have you read any other books by Tolkien ?

~WH2007 Jan 6, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Almost everythink and in different translations. My first book by Tolkien was The Lord of The Rings which I've read in primary school. It was pretty obscure then, but one librarian lady recommended it to me
