Smaug The Magnificentby *AndyFairhurst

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Fantasy

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.
