Description
Added 11/17/07Glaurung, the Father of the Dragons, from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Nasty thing, he is!
His species of dragon is called the Uruloki, if you cared to know!

Love this! It reminds me of Tolkien's own visual style. Is that what you were going for?
BTW, I used it in a post on The Silmarillion here:Β truemyths.org/2015/01/12/the-sβ¦
Hope that's cool!

That's what I was going for, yeah. Β Tried to keep it sorta close while still keeping it close to how he drew them.
I don't mind because you credited me, so it's all good. Β A lot of artists prefer if you ask first, though.

Wonderful. I am amazed at the talent here. Glaurung was indeed the father of them all. His malice gave me the creeps. You did a wonderful drawing of him and thanks for the trivia. I didn't know. haha

Niiice-you've outdone yourself with the dorsal/shoulder/joint-spines, the talons & general build are equally wicked...and that angular, snaggletoothed, dark-eyed mug conveys Glaurung's pure malevolence exquisitely. That little running stance is quite dynamic as well.
And here I learn something new from you AGAIN...I really must dig up a Tolkien-related encyclopedia one of these days.

Thanks! This is actually an older pic, when I was still trying to get Tolkien dragons down.
I guess I have an edge over you...I already HAVE a Tolkien encyclopedia......

Thanks! He was modeled after a pewter figure I saw of Glaurung once. It had the cool looking spikes on the shoulders, like this one.

Yeah, though I think they looked different on the model...can't really remember it all that well.....
