That's awesome! I've only seen one place that sells stuff like this and it's just a booth in an antique shop lol.

Poor babysitter

This really fucked up. I like it and I approve

I shall remain Impartial and just enjoy the books for what they are.

If I am brutally honest with you it interested me about the debate existing but the actual debate isn't something I really have an opinion on.

I would hang the shit out of this, OP.

Love it

Anything is possible with the wonderfully creative mind of J.R.R Tolkien.

Could a Balrog's wings be made of coalesced shadow?

This is amazing

"A Balrog of Morgoth"

I like this interpretation, balrogs and wizards are the same species but watching the movie there's no way you'd know that, this looks more humanoid, can even almost see a beard and robes, while still not giving up any of the corrupted vibes

Are those wings?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is awesome.

I get where everyone is coming from and I agree I like the interpretation of them to have wings, but let’s be real here. The text is very clearly stating that the darkness that the Balrog creates is similar to outstretched wings blocking the light. It’s not saying the demon itself literally has wings, just using a simile to describe it. I’ve always interpreted it similar to how Gandalf creates shadows when confronting Bilbo about the ring in the movie. He’s not actually blocking out the light with his body, his presence and power are absorbing the light to appear more threatening.

The misshapen form and reliance on assumption make it far more menacing than many depictions I've seen. Taps into something more visceral. I approve!

Let’s us not speak of the balrog in that movie

Badass
