? WHAT IS #smaugust2017  ?
For the month of August 2017 I created one of a kind dragon drawings all month long! Its called #smaugust , a monthly themed challenge to celebrate and engage with the online fantasy art community. Specifically, I explored and expanded the lore of dragons within my own IP, a magical world called "Terratoff"

 STORY:
"In Terratoff, there is a terrible plague called "The Rott" that rots magical creatures from the inside out. It is believed that a Rotten Dragon is the most terrifying beast that could possibly exist in their world. 
This poor Armor Dragon has contracted the plague, his armor scales have overgrown so much that they have covered his eyes and blinded him. But what he has lost in vision he has gained tenfold in fierceness and physical strength. He's certainly not letting blindness stop him from spreading mayhem through a cruel series of conquests. 

Dragons are known to keep hoards of treasure in their homes, and this one is out to claim them all for himself. He's just defeated a rival dragon for this pile of golden coins. As he devours the creature's bones with diabolical satisfaction, he plans his next attack.... for he will never to be able to fully sooth the overwhelming greed within."

! THE PROCESS !
My process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with colored graphite to draft the idea. Next I add colored pencils to add dimension and define the lines. Lastly, charcoal colored graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add detail. The colored sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the charcoal color of the final drawing. This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the method and experience of creating it.
