Artist's Comments

Some drawings that I worked on more than I was going to. The mysterious and terrible Balrogs, Maiar corrupted by Melkor. Just trying to illustrate as much as I can my vision on how Balrogs might look (or at least some of the time maybe ;) ). I would illustrate more 'shadowness' but it was hard with this style I didn't want to totally ruin it. XD Just trying to get a feel for what I think. Would have given them whips of flame but this was meant to be quick(ish) ideas may do fuller Balrog stuff later.

Drawing pens, and tea for the background. : P

An interesting take on Balrogs. It's odd seeing them so different to how they're portrayed in the film.

Thank you, yeah the film ones don't really fit the "like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater" for me. I mean perhaps they could have shape shifted into a more monstrous form, but I like them more humanoid and sinister. :D

I know what you mean. I saw the films before I read The Silmarillion, so I they still have that kind of demonic look in my mind. But yeah, I imagine them more humanoid too.
