Re-reading The Hobbit

Nothing can quite capture the satisfaction that comes from exploring Middle Earth with Bilbo Baggins. I've been drawing scenes from chapters as I go. Here's what I've done so far.
Still figuring out Smaug. I'm trying to NOT illustrate these characters to look like they came out of the Peter Jackson films. These are mine, my own imaginings that come to life as I read the book. No offense to the Peter Jackson movies, they're great but too departed from the original story for me. 
So I'm working on a smug, but fierce, Smaug dragon. Tricksy, but I love doing it.
