#Smaugust Day 31!

A fitting end prompt for this challenge
The age of dragons shall return someday but for now they return to their slumber

#smaugustchellenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 30!

Just wanted to make a chill looking piece since I didn't have too much time to work on this lol

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

Whoops late reply!

Thanks so much!
I mainly focused on those aspects since details cant be spared for a one month challenge so Im glad I got that right :D

#Smaugust Day 29!

The ozone layer is a dragon right?
It hoards atmospheric gasses and has the entire human population trapped in its lair?
Yep its a definitely dragon

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 28!

Time to burn away this weeks color and continue with the final few prompts from the ashes of the old
And yes this is my very own original design bearing literally no resemblance to other dragons from other media
*cough-fatalis-cough

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 27!

I see a desert captures the feeling of a dragon perfectly
It can be equally harsh and calm, cold and hot
But most importantly it feels like it never ends
And dragons are like that I think
Eternal not only in form but also in name

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 26!

No creative direction for this
Just been wanting to make a cool sword faced running dragon for a while now lol

You enter a filled with piles of gold. But despite the vast ocean of shimmering riches. You notice, a singular chest at the center Not a single decoration or mark, hell not even slightly gilded. Just a normal, everyday, run of the mill dungeon chest colored a deep red. You all collectively agree that its a mimic and decide to investigate... After a few rolls, some arguments, and 1 HOUR OF REAL-TIME, all your checks succeed. Your DM states "You spot nothing amiss with the chest, no signs of tampering biologically or magically" Seems innocent enough you all think The dwarf reaches forward and attempts to open it, as the rest of the party braces for battle Aaaaand- the chest opens as normal "Huh it was just a regular chest" says the dwarf Everyone sighs with relief, but just as you all let your guard down. The pile of gold grabs the dwarf and quickly wraps the room! Your party is taken aback! One member snared and the beast is at an advantage! With everyone surprised, the monster will strike first. With that said Roll initiative And remember players It isn't always the chest...

More DnD inspired stuff for #Smaugust day 25!
Was close to drawing a basic chest but what if mimics were alot less inconspicuous with their disguises?

#Smaugust Day 24!
Really like how this one turned out
Keeping it simple and easy to identify

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

Despite my plan to never revisit any of these pieces I couldnt let that day look out of place with the rest of my calendar
So this was my initial unrushed idea for #Smaugust day 23 :D

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025 #art

#Smaugust Day 23!

Kinda tired today and procrastinated too much so rushed this one
Oh well can't win em all

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 22!

Red Dragon Redemption I guess
Switched up the art style for this one just for fun :D

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 21!
A new week a new color! And this time illustrated as a migration from the magical pink to something else I dont really know yet lol
Harnessed as much HTTYD energy I could for this piece so I hope it feels that way

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025 #dragon

#Smaugust Day 20!
Alot happened today so not as much detail or thought
But uhh (insert dragon fly pun here)

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025 #art

As you exit the dungeon you can't shake off the thought that "it was too easy" This dungeon has been known to swallow any adventurer that dares tackle it and yet here you are a few steps away from the exit But just as you reach for the rusty gate, a drop of liquid hits your pauldron You look up to see a skull encased in a goopy substance as it slowly writhes before opening its slitted maw to lunge at you Roll for initiative

#Smaugust Day 19!

Wanted to add more details but I was in a rush
Really harnessed my inner dnd for this one and wanted it to feel like the gelatinous cube
Hopefully it looks alright!

#Smaugust Day 18!
Finally got some biology for this one-
Drapetails carry their eggs around until they find a suitable nest, where they will care for them until they hatch
Got inspired by how huntsmans carry around their young as well

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 17!
Finally schmovin into more magical territory with this almost alien like inspiration taken from lightning sprites!
Its a real life phenomenon look it up!

#smaugust2025 #smaugustchallenge

#Smagust Day 16!
Might be my weakest piece so far lol
Didn't want to use this concept because I wanted to stray aware from the dark theming but here we are

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 15!
Starting off this week by fighting off the darkness from last week!
Gonna be alot more magical this time around too :D

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 14!
The dark purple week ends and a new theme begins!
Just wanted to do another environment piece lol no other excuse

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust day 13!

Im getting lazier and lazier this one took about an hour LOL
I promise not to procrastinate (too much) for next week
Also i tried making this guy look as creepy as possible but it just looks goofy

#smaugust2025 #smaugustchallenge

#Smaugust Day 12!
Speedrun again and decided to keep it simple
Gargoyles are always a cool inspiration :D

#smaugust #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 11!

This one kind of connects to the previous prompt and apart from the noodley body focuses on snake muscles still reacting even after death
And this one wants revenge-

#smaugust2025 #smaugustchallenge

#Smaugust Day 10!
Took almost 3 hours and its not as detailed as I wanted it to be but what can you do
Its based on Dragon Maki and filleting fish alive to eat it while its at its freshest

#smaugustchallenge #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 9!
Again running out of ideas here LOL
All I really wanted was to incorporate nuclear warning spikes since I thought that would be a cool direction to take this in :)

#smaugust #smaugust2025 #smaugustchallenge

#Smaugust Day 8!
Did not know where to take this until I remembered how horrifying Subnautica's sea moth sonar visuals are
So here's my crude attempt at replicating that feel :D

#smaugust #smaugust2025

#Smaugust Day 7!
Wanted to make this piece to symbolize breaking away from the cloud motifs and blue palette for next weeks prompts :D

#smaugust2025 #smaugust

Forgot #smaugust Day 6!
I guess Im just in the mood to draw clouds because I ended up with a sheep of all things for soft lol

Again continuing with the calm feeling though I'm less attached to this one compared to the previous pieces

#Smaugust #smaugust2025

#smaugust Day 5!
It's not really a dragon but my main inspiration for this were childhood memories of seeing creatures from random shapes. And clouds were no exception. I still do this now though that sense of awe is less prevalent in my vision nowadays

#smaugust2025 #smaugustchallenge

Forgot to post day 4 of #smaugust !

Took about 2 hours to make and of course had to be a pun (based off of snapdragon flowers lol)
