I haven't written a journal in quite a while! I'll do a proper longer one soon, this is just a query of sort.
The question is Tolkien based, but this is so much common knowledge that I hope for a wide variety of answers.
Which depiction of the Gandalf vs. Balrog fight do you like the best?
My personal favourite, as much as I love John Howe's work, is the one Ted Namith did. The architecture of Moria is much closer to my own mental image (less dirty/broken/rough stone, more marble), the angle and lighting are amazing and the motion in figures of both Balrog and Gandalf is perfect.

Thanks! Jan
