I am SMAUG!
I kill when I wish!
I am strong, strong, STRONG!
My armor is like tenfold shields!
My teeth like swords!
My claws, spears!
The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt!
My wings, a hurricane!
And my breath, death!

Hobbit fanart from me is actually long overdue since the book was one of the two things that got me into fantasy when I was very little. (The other being the Lion. the Witch and the Wardrobe...)

The scene where Bilbo encountered Smaug was what stuck with me the most. And even at ten years old, I had a crystal clear image in my head of what Smaug looked like. While I do enjoy seeing other interpretations of the character quite a bit, I do kind-of-sort-of hate his designs for the movies. So with the final Hobbit movie coming out this week, I figured I'd draw my own interpretation of what has been in my head for all these years. :)

Tools Used: Photoshop version CS4, Paint Tool Sai
