I love the way it appears to blur as if there's the rising heat (unless it's just a dodgy pic of it?)

Wow...this is awesome. You know that painting by Salvador Dali, with the man being hatched out of a bleeding world? And the sheet thing spread above? The design of the central figure's wings remind me of that style. Way cool.

Hmmm, the only BALOR I am familiar with is the one from Celtic mythology. Is this the case here? Some explaination from the artist would be nice.

:-) Robert M. Katkowski replies: "In dungeons and dragons, their version of the balrog from lord of the rings is a demon called a balor. No celtic mythology involved."

Its very nice, but a balor should be larger and more muscular in my opinion, also i was looking foward to seeing the infamous skelly face, and the wings are suposed to be like flaming bones too

Actually that whole skeletal thing is just on nwn. They are supposed to have leathery wings and apelike faces with very canine mouths.

Very dynamic and eye-catching! Nice overall composition. Great job on the fire elements too. Keep creating! 1 - Derek "Hendercrazy" Henderson
