This is phenomenal Danny, what do you use - painter? Great lighting effects you've achieved here. I like the full piece, but this detail is even stronger as a stand-alone piece.

(Danny Staten)

Thanks. I use painter 7. I absolutely love that program. It feels like I have an unlimited potential to improve as I use painter. I feel that the whole piece is much stronger when you see it in print where almost every centimeter is this detailed. Thanks for the comment.

I like the subtractive method you've got going on...really sweet pic! :D

(Danny Staten)

To be honest, I don't know of a technique by that name, but I have taken very few formal classes. I have received some good instruction in classes, but certainly not as much as I would like. Anyway, a comment coming from you really means something. Your gallery is fabulous.

Great job--what I love most is the tongue, which lookes like some molten metal. Very scary!

AweSOME. Dude. like totally. I'm speechless. *reverts to normalcy*... I love the internal glow you got by inverting the stripes, and the movement here... this shows all the lithe ferocity and blind violence that a Balrog should. Very nice interpretation. sez me.
