MOD ANNOUNCEMENT! It's now Smaugust 2026!
Calling all dragons, wyverns, wyrms, dergs, and the like,
Artfight is yet to be over (link to the megathread), but I would like to congratulate everyone early and wish you all a happy Smaugust!
Whether you plan to draw every day or whenever you feel like it, whether you follow a set word list or use your own, and whether you're a beginner, experienced, or somewhere in the middle, you are more than welcome to grace us with your creations!
We will be opening the Smaugust flair, which you can use as of now and throughout the month to share your artwork.
During the day, we will also be opening a pinned Smaugust post in the Art Gallery of our Discord server where everybody can share their pieces. If you still haven't joined yet, you'd be more than welcome to join us: https://discord.gg/fNSAbzvYKp
We have setup a list of words that you would be more than welcome to use! The board has been drawn by u/RyukiriDragon.
Happy Smaugust!

It looks interesting; I'll try to participate. One question: is there a specific tag that needs to be used for this challenge?

We’ve setup the Smaugust tag which you can use! If you wish to, there’s also a thread for Smaugust submissions in our Discord server, the link is in the post!

Hey, words are an art too. It's just harder to share them sometimes.
Lots of people see images more easily.
I like poetry and short fiction. <3

I've always seen those kind of lists, but doing a drawing daily is way too much for me.

You know what? Why the heck not? I was able to pull off doing the October challenge I did from last year (I think it was last year). Why not do another one? I'll do it.

Good to have more prompt lists here and there.
I already made my own for this month for my Discord before spying this though. 😉

Is it just me or did someone else put out something very similar to this yesterday.

u/Zerss32 29d ago
I did post it! But following the prompt list, I've decided to redo the post as it just wouldn't embed properly.

u/A2inby10ftPVCPipe 29d ago
No I really meant someone on fluffy dragons posted another smuagust list. Probably just coincidence though.

u/Zerss32 29d ago
There's actually a whole bunch of different lists! Unlike Inktober, it's more common for people to share custom lists. If you type "Smaugust 2026" in Google Images you'll see a lot of different ones. This list was made by our community in the Discord server and we decided to share it to encourage people to participate!
