Glorfindel battles the Balrog in this powerful scene from J.R.R.Tolkien’s, Silmarillion, as the remains of the Noldorian Elves escape from the Sac of Gondolin, wrought by Morgoth’s forces of Dragons, Balrogs and Orcs.

Yup, that’s what a Balrog looks like. Beats that movie version hands down. 2 Great job on a dynamic depiction of the battle and overall composition.

:-) Richard Claraval replies: "Thanks for the compliment, Green Phoenix. I try to be as true as I can to the books in my Tolkien work -- didn’t like the movie Balrog either. I’ll post an etching that I did of it too, see what you think.
