I Kill Where I Wish and None Dare Resist. (Fantasy Month WIP) (Patreon)

Hello!

Fantasy Month is here and who better to roll it in than Smaug!  You know him, you fear him, Smaug is undoubtedly the most famous dragon from J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece setting.  Considered the last great dragon to exist in Middle-earth, he was drawn towards the enormous wealth amassed by the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain during the reign of King Thrór. I'm guessing most have probably read or seen the Hobbit but his hightlights include laying waste to the nearby city of Dale, capturing the Lonely Mountain and driving the surviving Dwarves into exile.  And with that, Smaug kickstarts one of the greatest series of fantasy stories ever written.

Smaug's influence can be felt in all fantasy settings like Forgotten Realms as he is the standard template for all future dragon variations.  And you know, he spawned the trope that all dragons love to hoard treasure.  I know his original incarnation didn't include front legs but I actually really like that about dragons in modern depictions.  So I'll probably include a version of Smaug with them.

Next we have the assassin!  Like I said, I always love a good assassin character.  Whether it's great assassin games like Hitman or...Hitman, there's just something really satisfying about offing powerful figureheads, like the rules of society don't apply to you.  I stuck pretty close to the concept, but included more tools of the trade.  I'll probably include a pose showing the assassin performing her craft.

Guts in Berserk Armour coming up in a bit.  Stay tuned!
