Fantastic job on the design, details, lighting, colouring, pose and lay out. Bilbo looks about he's about to get fried.

Very nice picture!
Just one question: I made a cover of the song "I See Fire" and want to upload it on my youtube-chanel and I'm searching for a picture to underlie the music. My I use this picture of you? Sure I'll credit you.Β
Greetings Nithril

Smaug: "Oh, no you don't! I'll blow your freaking head OFF!"
Bilbo: S***!

"I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!"

I saw this in cinema today. So EPIC!

the scene was amazing and smaug was brilliant only gripe is that is a wyvern not dragon
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. In fact, the guy that developed the concept for smaug thinks that dragons with 4 legs and two wings are not realistic and that a two-legged dragon (which, as you said, is not a dragon, but a wyvern) is better. Lol

it dose look more realistic than 4 legs and in nature a wyvern like design would be more effective looking at bats and birds
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe, but if it's supposed to be a dragon, make it one, not a wyvern. you know what I mean?
π: 0 β©: 1
technically wyverns are dragons but they more green land and Scandinavia, what we usually think when we think dragon is the European breed four legs two wings lots of fire

According to Wikipedia, wyverns aren't dragons. They might be wrong, but... whatever, it doesn't really matter.
π: 0 β©: 1
by all technicality there are multiple things called a wyvern and or a dragon plus wikipedia tends to miss things either way smaug was bad ass and look extremely natural in the environment

If you actually read Tolkeins biographical descriptions of Smaug, he is described as being 'a large snake like beast rather than a dragon as we know them today' and in Tolkeins SOLE piece of art shown for smaug, his forelegs are ridiculously withered anyways

this one was more of bat and Komodo dragon hybrid in it's movements and looks not really snake like

In his head, yes, howerver if you look at him there's very little difference between his hips and shoulder to his body. And his motion, he coils around everything gracefully, instead of some lumbering brute
π: 0 β©: 1
when chasing the dwarves he is very lumbering but I will give you that during the treasure room scene he is very serpentine
π: 0 β©: 1
Whilst chasing the dwarves he is also stretching himself between bridges, clearly struggling to reach
π: 0 β©: 1
it looked more like he was jumping and throwing he weight around quite easily to me
π: 0 β©: 1
Just cause you can land it doesn't mean you can be stable when your weight is at each end of your body
π: 0 β©: 1
he was very stable in the film and dangerous he could easily move with no problem at all so I'm not sure what you are playing at

I'm just saying he more closely fills Tolkeins wish for a 'great wyrm' than a hexapod dragon would have
π: 0 β©: 1
very true he was called that but he was also called a firedrake, wyrms in tolkien were an entirely different creature from one of his unproduced works
π: 0 β©: 1
Smaug was also addressed many times as a wyrm by Tolkein, as were many other dragons.
π: 0 β©: 1
but inΒ the untold tales it was stated he started to consider wyrms differently, this getting to the point were the arguement is like the goblin and orc debacle do to continuity errors from hobbit to lotr
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, good point. Fun though.
π: 0 β©: 1
A healthy debate is fun. Besides, no matter what we can agree that any dragon that glows with heat as it prepares to blow fire is awesome
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, smaug was pretty awesome looking. As soon as I got home from the movie I wanted to sketch him. Do you know where I can find his body concept art or something to use as a reference? That would be much appreciated, as I've looked around and only found head concept art from the movie...

you could look up the new Zealand airline not sure if it's full body but it has a lot of him on it

π: 0 β©: 1
