Description
Added 3/26/08Hehe. How TyrantisTerror knew I was doing this, I'll never know....
Just a short, sketch-y, comic-y version of Smaugs Boast from The Hobbit. Because I'm odd.

One of the best parts in the book, IMO.

Indeed it does...that sardonic little curl of the lip fits the noise perfectly.

Ahh, good. I had the hardest time thinking up a noise effect for that.

Oh my, yes. Those close-up panels are exquisitely expressive, and that gloating malefic cackle is almost perfect. Nice font for the Monologue to End All Monologues, by the way.
Regarding color...the last graphic-novel take on The Hobbit I flipped through gave Smaug a pinkish-red upper body and plain gold underside. I'm certain whatever you figure out will be a skosh more interesting.

Thank you!
A pinkish red Smaug? Eww. I'll come up with something better than that, at least.

Greatest monologue ever. Smaug kicks all kinds of ass!

Yes it is, and yes he does!

Man, this is the best part of the whole Hobbit. Smaug is the perfect hoarding dragon! XD
Well...it is JRR Tolkien who made him....
Genius

Fttt, he's never around when you need him. Always off smashing stuff.

I just love how you drew him, way better than the animated film made him look *gags*

Heh, thanks!
If he wasn't so fat, he would probably look better.

If he didn't look like a wolf, I'd like him more too. His voice was awesome

That's my soft spot; his voice. It was an awesome voice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure was. Too bad his actor died back in '81

Yes, it is. I hope they find someone just as good for the live action movie.

I hope so. Did you ever play the game for The Hobbit, the one where James Horan voiced him?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I'm actually on a run right now.
Still, it's a fun game, with all the little things thrown in you'll only really get if you read the books.

It's just that one part that's sorta weak. The rest is actually pretty good.
And James does have some good moments as Smaug.

It's a coinkidink that has some basis in fact. You mentioned a Tolkien dragon, and I thought of Smaug first because I have a deep love for that character. He was one of the first roles I ever got in a play, and as such his monologue is rooted deep in my memory. Feeling nostalgic, I included it in my comment.
Completely coinkidinky.
This is a wonderful renditon of Mr. The Golden, by the way. His expressions are perfect, and again I must say you make it look so damn easy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
Yeah, coinkidink..so you say.
You got to be Smaug in a play? I'm jealous, my school refused to do it, even though everyone said I'd be a good Smaug.
Not sure if that was a compliment or not...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd take it as such. Smaug is a classy dragon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmm, he is at that.

Ah Smaug, the dragon that started it all. Nice work as always. Any chance you will color it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you much!

I was just curious how you would color the great red-gold dragon!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm going to make a color pic, just not this one, is all.
And I was wondering about that, too....you know, is he actually red-gold, as in the color of him would be like copper, or red-gold as in he's mostly red, but with some gold parts? Besides the encrusted belly.
I guess two pics, then...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good question on the color, but I sure as hell don't know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I'm making two head pics for you to choose from. We'll see which looks better, and I'll go with that for the full body.
