Description
Ancalagon, the greatest dragon created by Morgoth, faces EΓ€rendil in his flying ship at the beginning of a day-long aerial battle that will end the War of Wrath.I tried very different techniques from the Ungoliant picture. I'm actually worried that I might have depicted Ancalagon too small! He's supposed to have destroyed a mountain range when he crashed from the sky...

(seeing Ancalagon's corpse)
Me: Holy crap Earendil?! You killed it?! How?!
Earendil: Wait, didn't anyone see?
Me: No, everyone just saw your ship fly up into those thick storm clouds and the monster followed you and you were both gone for a whole day. We could hear explosions and roars from way up in the sky, but other than that we didn't see anything until that thing came crashing back down.Β Β
Earendil: So you're telling me that I just won the most amazing and epic battle in recorded history, but nobody else actually saw it because of some stupid clouds?
Me: Can you at least describe what happened?
Earendil: (A tear rolls down his cheek and he has a look of despair) It was too awesome for words.

This is an epic depiction of Ancalagon! When I tried (for myself) making a size relation of Ancalagon, I made his length to be the height of an average mountain on earth (about 12,674'). Your Ancalagon's body height looks to be GREATER than the 35,000' tall peaks! Might I say, my goodness he's huge!
Are those more normal sized dragons Smaug sized (book or movie)?

Even though you're worried you made Ancalagon too small, you still painted a good picture of how MASSIVE he really is. Nice!Β

I think this is one of the few images that properly depicted how big he really was, tho I would say Ancalagon is even bigger. Amazing work!

i would literally sit down and wait to die... could probably run a few miles and it would still be able to eat you without moving lolΒ

It's so big, you could survive his bite by hiding in the space between two teeth

*Ancalagon is drawn standing on two mountains*
Arstist: "I wonder if I drew him to small?"
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!.... You do make a valid point though

This is the image I think of when I think of Ancalagon the Black. Excellent work!~

Now that is a proper tribute to Smaug's great-grandaddy, chief of the Fire Drakes of Morgoth.Β (Very late to the party, but quite admire it still)
