NeverΒ thought in Glorfindel with a bow, against Balrog. I really, really like it, elves, to me, are archers...Amazing work!

Not to disparage the work of other artists, but it's nice to see an Elf-lord who looks like he could kick some ass. Β Elves are supposed to be beautiful, sure, but they're also supposed to be strong, strong, strong, especially in the First Age, before they began to "diminish" and "fade." Β This Glorfindel has some solidity to him; a strength of face and limb that make him look a bit more substantial than some of the depictions one sees. Β I also love your depiction of the Balrog (it appears you're in the "no-wings" camp
