Woo, just got some small adjustments the ready for paint. Now for the tail. Body suit is mostly finished.

So let’s pretend that it’s actually December 25th today, and that this isn’t a month-late gift. Thanks <3
Merry New Year to aconsultingmind! She’s been collecting awesome makeup and costume pieces for her Cumbersmaug cosplay, and I wanted to draw her fanart for some time. I can’t wait to see how much more it progresses!

I hope that it never stops being extremely satisfying to draw and work on my Cumbersmaug design. Anatomy splicing is my soul.
Cumbersmaug design sketches.
I was struggling to hop on the bandwagon where Smaug is drawn humanized because I couldn’t design him clothing that was interesting enough. So I referenced various Japanese and Chinese garments in an attempt to do something that was not done before. Dragons in more Eastern-style clothing are gorgeous as well. There’s more to come in this series, as I’m addicted to it, and I will most likely color these.
(I ran out of room on the Chinese Armor one whoops)
Fact: timevstheworld comes up with great AU headcanons where Modern AU Smaug is actually a circus owner, and not only is the ringmaster but a performer as well.
It lead to pretty things and aerial silks and me listening to a tonne of dark cabaret.

Modern/Casual AU Smaug(lock)?
Yeah.
This is all because of some gold shoes I found on Ebay. Which I promptly purchased when pandoyareblogs came up with the idea of CasualSmaug.

This is about as done as I’m going to get with this.

modern day hipster!bilbo being a shy little university student with big dorky glasses and a shock of short, fluffy curls and one day he meets a tall, black-eyed man with magnificent amber curls on the campus, finding himself unable to stop staring. and when the man catches sight…

I ran out of time to color it but THAT AU SOUNDED AWESOME AND COMPLETELY ADORABLE SO I COULDN’T RESIST DRAWING A THING ^O^
