Description
"'I am a servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun.Go back to the shadow!! You cannot pass,'
The Balrog made no answer. The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly onto the bridge, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and altogether alone: grey and bent, like a wizened tree before the onset of a storm..."
JRR Tolkien-The fellowship of the Ring
I'm not sure how this one will be recieved but it's hands down my favorite of all my works!! Perhaps it's because I've carried this picture in my head since I was about 11 years old. I didn't have the technology to create it then.. Still don't! LOL, But if ya hum a few bars, I can fake it!!! I'll come back with the credits when I finish looking them up, right now I'm exhausted!!
Thanxxx fer viewin, comments welcome and appreciated...
