In honor of JRR Tolkien, Professor of Ancient Beauties

This last week marked the anniversary of Professor Tolkien's passing. This graphic is done as a memorial tribute.

 The origins of Smaug, (c) 2020, original done in Inkscape

Tolkien understood something about the act of creation. His creations breathed life back to him as well. Incidentally, please don't over-estimate my artistic skills; the dragon is very closely based on some old drawings by Tolkien himself.

    Good job with Inkscape. I've tried it, but miss Corel Draw -- I decided it was just too expensive.

    I loved Corel draw, back in the day. But, right, the price tag. I no longer own a copy.

    Take care & God bless
