Why this piece is awesome: The artist is a pro illustrator but this is fanart, and to a very high technical standard. It's an amazingly atmospheric painting - very detailed and I love the dark, spooky feel the lighting gives. I'm posting it as the initial part of a two-part set - the next one (here) is what happens when Smaug (did you see Smaug?) arrives. An object lesson in not building a wooden town near a dragon's lair. It pays to click through twice for maximum magnification.

Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Lake town, and Smaug
Content Notes/Warnings: violent destructive imagery
Medium: digital painting.
Artist on DW/LJ: not as far as I can see. There's an art blog (similar content to DA) here
Artist Website/Gallery: on DA
Why this piece is awesome: Another pro illustrator creating fanart, and a follow-up to my last entry. This artist's style is very different but it suits the violence of the scene, as opposed to the heavy "calm before the storm" controlled feel of the previous picture (here). I like that Smaug looks like a dinosaur, or a Kaiju, as he wreaks havoc. Click through to enlarge it.
