#smaugustpen

Doing another monster hunter-themed Smaugaust but this time the prompt list isn't specific to Monster Hunter. The final monster for rathalaugust2023 was Fatalis so it's only fitting that they also be the first. It's also the most medieval monster that I could think of. You fight in old castle grounds after all! However, to mix it up some I went with one of the variants.

I was going to do Jade Barroth because I liked it better but then I realized that I was doing front-facing portraits and well...Barroth from the front is just a cliff face.
