The famous scene in The Fellowship of the Ring where Gandalf the Gray faces off with the Balrog of Morgoth across the Bridge of Khazad Dum.
I drew this about half a year ago, after a viewing of the FotR DVD. The scene where the Balrog roars at the screen has always been one of my favorite parts, and Gandalf's stance as the Balrog is coming up out of the fire just reeks of such coolness, I knew I had to draw it. It was done entirely in Photoshop 6 using a Wacom Graphire 2 tablet. Tools used include many sizes of paintbrush, dodge/burn tools, smudge brush, and line tool. Working on and off, it took me about three days to complete.
This is awesome, beautifully done, and I wish I could make fire like that. However, I would like to see your own interpretation of the Balrog, as Tolkien's words have such a fatastic way of being different to everyone. Have a look at my Balrog in my own work for my interpretation.
entirely done in photoshop!!wtf??dude that is soooo coolz!!! btw you got any photoshop tutorial you know?coz im a newbie when it comes to photoshop..lolz

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
