This design reminds me of the longsnout Smaug from the 1980's illustration by Michael Hague! Very magnificent but also kinda cute, 10/10 would not steal gold from.

Very, very nice. The colours and highlights are tasteful to boot. Great detailwork as well. Subtle. The allure of treasure is clear for all to see here. Regal!

Please pardon me asking, but would you by any chance be interested in helping out the volunteer project known as the Ninth Age (T9A for short: www.the-ninth-age.com/ )? It is the spiritual successor of Warhammer Fantasy, run by 300+ volunteer contributors all tinkering in their spare time, and it aims to go even further than Warhammer did along the paths of historically based fantasy smΓΆrgΓ₯sbord setting: i.imgur.com/dlmQkB6.jpg

For one thing, T9A is the perfect way for what used to be Warhammer fantasy fanart to instead become official artwork for an emerging setting, and thus gain much more widespread exposure.

Moreover, T9A is always welcoming artists who want to join their art team, and your skill and distinctive designs would be great to have on board, should you ever be interested in joining and help develop this setting by putting your own distinctive mark upon its art pool. If you would by any chance be interested in donating old artworks of yours, then here is a quick guide for T9A gallery upload of art contributions: i.imgur.com/ORLCncV.jpg

I can get you in E-mail contact with the head of their art team, if you're interested.

At any rate, splendid artworks! Evocative to boot, and detailed like a dream. Have a nice day.

Β A most deliciously smug Smaug, the Shere Khan of Dragons! (Disney, rather than Kipling).Β

I really like this Smaug, even i imagined him always to be more evil looking - this Smaug seems to be a nice Guy/Dragon
