Well,extremely nice depiction of well known Cave scene from the Hobbit/JRRT.

At first glance you would never said that this scene is from a cave of a Dwarf king,there is a certain amount of absence of cave-details and closed space feeling,but never the less,I can tell that author's idea was to emphasize the moment and emotion,which she did it very well.
The Smaug,an ancient dragon looks like dragon that I imagine as I read the book.Smaug details are excellent,especially precious stones and gold coins between his scales.
Bilbo,you can certainly see fear in his whole appearance ,especially in his eyes.Not so long ago he was safe and
satisfied in his beautiful cottage back in Shire,and now he is dealing with mighty Smaug himself.
I would certainly like to see drawing like this in the middle of some Hobbit book issue.
Well done.
