Like much of the art I have made for The One Ring, the design of Smaug is taken directly from Tolkien's own paintings, with a hopefully appropriate update to match the times and the style of the other game art I have made. It was very important to me that Smaug show his (highly dubious) character, and be clearly capable of speech. The idea of him somewhat gleefully hosing fire into Erebor through pursed lips seemed to fit that idea.


The One Ring is a new Middle Earth role playing game from Cubicle 7 and Sophisticated Games, due out Summer 2011.

Artrage, Painter, Photoshop.

This is beyond awesome!
Would you mind if I use this in my YouTube Video along with my music "Mist from the depths"(dwarven temple)?
Credit will surely be given, but I thought to seek your approval first

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't give you permission to use this - Middle-earth Enterprises are the people you'd need to contact, and I think as they are such busy people you'd have to be realistic about the likelihood of getting a response. Thank you for asking though, I very much appreciate the courtesy.
