Universes Beyond: The Hobbit-- Smaug the Magnificent by John Tedrick
Verdanthar the chosen of Cyric, by me
Meet Verdanthar, the Chosen of Cyric!
Verdanthar is a recent\* antagonist in the POTA game I am part of, first appearing in our campaign in December of 2024. He was memorable enough that I had to paint him (and sculpt!) which this is the second result of! This particular painting sat unfinished in my canvases for months as I I tried to figure out how to do his scales and what to fill in the background with. Green dragons are very snake like so I used a viper on a limb reference, which has the snake arching back over its back, making it seem to turn around backwards. The effect in the painting turned out well imo!
In all, roughly 50hrs of work across 9 months bc of his shelved time.
16x20in stretched canvas, acrylics.
The painting is for sale. See comments for links or head over to my profile for them!
