There's no better place for a dragon than curled up on his hoard.Īrt markers, ink and gel pens on bristol. A red drake from the North, whose greed for gold brought him to the Lonely Mountain. Though the film makes it hard to tell with it's dark lighting, Smaug was always a red dragon, as per the book. Here's my take (one of many!) on old Smaug, as seen in the film. I wasn't sure about the casting of Cumberbatch as the scaly menace, but after having seen it, I admit, his Smaug grew on me. With the new film out this past winter, I knew they were going to have to do Smaug just right, or it would ruin the entire film. Heck, I now have almost that entire book memorized. I would sit and watch the old Rankin and Bass animated film over and over again. Smaug was always my favorite dragon, growing up.
