Maye you thought it was you, but no, it was Eldorion who asked about 'that thing'.

One can sometimes have too much going on in one's head, Old Cat, and perhaps you're beginning to believe you're not yourself at all, but someone else completely.

Almost anyone can be prone to this condition. It's because we're just Mortal folk and can all of us be quite frail (intellectually) at times.

Cheers,
Odo

Thanks for that Odo,
Anybody else got anything dragon related to say?

Blimey.

Always pleased to lend a helping hand...

As to dragons - I'm still on Brado1's side.

I like the 1st one actually. I've always LOVED dragons, and my version of the Hobbit had a picture of Smaug on the cover (I think it was published in 2004?) and I find it perfect! He's sitting sleepily on his hoard of gold. He's a magnicficent large red dragon with a long winding tail with a barb on the end. Anyone know what I'm talking about? and yes, he shouldn't be young and lean, but not chubby! Why insult such a lazy, once-magnificent dragon who's been causing trouble for Eriador for countless years?

sorry, I posted this in the wrong place, I was referring to Brado1s pictures...
Another slip up by Tinuviel! :oops:

As long as you don't do it ALL the time, I suppose we can forgive you!

I liked both of the pictures you posted Numenor. Really, I'll be happy with any dragon that doesn't look Cuddly and Adorable like Eragon and Dragonheart

Now I'm sure to avoid Eragon the movie! A cuddly dragon! What next?

I still like the first set of Smaug art i posted, but i must say i really like John Howe's version.

while searching Google found some really nice images of Weta's bronze sculpture of Howe's Smaug

i another image i like is the original Rankin and Bass sketch of Smaug...

but hated the cartoons final cat faced fat dragon look

pretty hideous!

the Smaug that David Wenzelhad done in the Graphic Novel wasn't bad, but certainly not my favorite.

I don't know who did this version....
