Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.

Made in collaboration with Hoagie's Smoked BBQ Sandwiches, this was the original poster for "Don't Fear the Reaper" Hoagie's hot as Ancalagon's fire sandwich.

Created early in my foray to digital art, and in some ways biting off more than I can chew. Reaper taught me a lot of new techniques and lessons on the art of digital art. I'm still pleased as punch by Ancalagon's fire stream! Indeed, since working on Reaper, my abilities at painting fire have grown still.

There's plenty that I don't like about Reaper, but without it I wouldn't have grown as much as I have in such little time. For those reasons, Reaper will always have a place in my heart.

If you're in the area, have a stomach for intense heat and it's available, stop by Hoagie's and try this wicked sandwich. I've seen many fail and cry whilst eating it, despite declaring their tolerance of heat. Indeed, this sandwich will truly set apart the mad from the sane, cast yourselves into the fire!!
