Artist's commentary
Flame of Udûn
A personal piece I have been dragging since the start of the year, after rereading TLOTR chronologically, from the Silmarillion to the return of the king, finally calling it done.
I love the Balrog's design in the Peter Jackson movies, it is iconic and powerful.
But I wanted to try a version more in line with Tolkien's description of it, at least imo.
Hope you like it!
