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.
Smaug, The Hobbit (c) Tolkien

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! I'm glad you like my Smaug. The font was a compleate accident, so I can't take to much credit for that. Does the "Hffff..." part in the mouth close up work as much as I think it does?
A pinkish red Smaug? Eww. I'll come up with something better than that, at least.

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

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

Scatha-the-Worm In reply to Letdragon [2008-03-27 03:41:35 +0000 UTC]
Heh, thanks! I sorta have an odd soft spot for that animated Smaug, though.
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.

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?

Scatha-the-Worm In reply to Letdragon [2008-03-27 14:28:07 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. I'm actually on a run right now. He's not as good, and they cut like half of his speech! X(
Still, it's a fun game, with all the little things thrown in you'll only really get if you read the books.

Scatha-the-Worm In reply to Letdragon [2008-03-27 18:05:08 +0000 UTC]
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!

Thank you! It's not really that easy; I've been stuck on this for a week.
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...

Thank you much! I dunno...I'm sorta fond of the way it is now. Like a graphic novel feel, only not so pretty. >_>

I was just curious how you would color the great red-gold dragon!

Scatha-the-Worm In reply to hypergojira [2008-03-27 20:54:01 +0000 UTC]
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...

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.
