Description
The predrawing for this was done a while ago - it actually began with a school project about (actually german) literature. But I (and few others) picked foreign authors as well. Yep, guess what...mine was J.R.R. Tolkien. In this project I tried to lllustrate the plot of Tolkiens "main works": The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. The project ended with the pencil work, but for me it wasn't finished...there was (and still is) some work to do! 
Now that I finally finished the work for "The Hobbit", it seems for me it is a bit "chaotic"...but nevermind, LotR and Silmarillion will get even more chaotic XD (Though I can't tell when it is going to be finished...)
Done with watercolour and no idea how long it took. I used different (rougher) watercolour paper than usual, it was a bit strange to work with.
That's all.
Oh no, wait...EDIT: I also used silver and gold gouache as well as white ink for small highlights! Just forgot that....
And now that I'm editing this, I'll ink some music I listened to while painting...

Wow, so many other comments; surely you don't need mine! But this reminds me of some of Tolkien's own illustrations.

Thank you!
Sometimes such music has a calming impact on me, dunno how XD And if not...then it means headbanging and painting at the same time

I totally understand you! I think we should regard using our own mane as a brush, and then see what happens

This piece is incredible! It really is everything in the story put together in one picture; and on top of that it's visually appealing ad draws the eye into the picture masterfully! Smaug even looks a lot like the dragons Tolkien drew himself.

Oh, yes, his artwork is magnificent. If it's the original Thror's map, then it's actually one of the dragons that Tolkien drew himself.

I'd love to sell it as one (when I opened a print profile somwhere - I'm on it), but I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed to print it since it is based on Tolkien's work...I still need to inform myself about this.
