Comment from Steven who is a HUGE fan of this painting: Simply SUPERB, SUPERB, SUPERB! Love the curves of the wing talons!
Comment from Steven who is a stickler (and not trying to be a dick): Balrogs don't have wings, despite what P. Jackson & co. may think.

Just saw this on FB. Have you looked at the work of John Martin? He did apocalyptic paintings, and it definitely has that vibe! Cheers!
