I really like this. The movie aside, I feel the best way to depict a Balrog is with a certain amount of vagueness. You've really kept to Tolkien's description as well.

Beautiful work here, really fits in with the passage from the book. The image is deceptively simple looking, yet all the elements are there & the colours are so warming...but with the right amount of threat!

i like this illustration. i dont know how to describe what i like...i just do. i think the movie made the balrog tooo.....ox-like. i wound up thinking it was cute and wanted to hug it rather than seeing it as a thing to be feared.
this i think is more what they were supposed to be. soo great job capturing that.

Maybe some part of the scenery that would give an idea? Like a pillar or something that people would know was big?
Alternatively, you could use a tennis ball on a stick and label it is a hobbit?
