Rhapsodies

When struggling over today’s Inktober prompt, the first thing I thought of was Gollum. The problem was I was comfortably sure that was what everybody else was thinking of. At first, I thought “ignore it” you’re trying to crank out art fast, take the easy out.

But then the wonderful Senshi Stock used it as their reference prompt on their Instagram feed, and I just couldn’t.

I went with a Fafnir/Smaug riff instead. (on a side note I’ve been reading a great book about medieval bestiaries and it was fascinating just how mammalian many of the pictures of dragons were.)
