In the darkness, the dragon and his hoard became one. No longer just a guardian of the gold, Smaug became the very embodiment of greed, his hide mirroring the glittering coins he coveted above all else.\u003cbr\u003eSmaug the Golden creates a striking \"what if\" narrative, imagining the Fire Drake fused with the very treasure he guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve this lustrous, treasure-hoarding aesthetic, our artists have employed a specialised metallic foiling technique. This complex application coats the scales and skin in a shimmering layer of gold, simulating the effect of aeons spent crushing dwarven fortunes beneath his might. Yet, amidst this metallic armour, the eyes and maw remain disturbingly organic; a visceral reminder that a living, breathing monster still lurks beneath the gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to an Edition Size of just 900, this piece retains all the intricate texture of the original bust while offering a completely new aesthetic.
