Run through a contrast/colorize filter and chop off the signature?Β mafaka.deviantart.com/art/Balrβ¦

That makes no sense, the proportions aren't even remotely alike.

It appears stretched vertically. I asked the question because the two images look so close. I've never seen the reference, so I don't know why pretty much everything sans the levels and a couple of lines are so similar. That's why I asked instead of reporting it. It makes plenty of sense you turd.

Aw thanks for the compliment <3
Anyway, the reference for this is actually not very hard to find
Quick google search:Β www.thelandofshadow.com/wp-conβ¦
Kind of silly to decide to run around and report people's artwork because two people decided to use the same reference for their drawing.
And no, even if it were stretched out, the drawing's proportions are not exactly alike. So it makes no sense to assume that the artwork was stolen.
Not to mention that I personally saw the making and progress of this drawing.
Get lost.

Ye, somebody didn't read. I wasn't sure, so I *didn't* report it. It's not hard to add random lines in paint and call something original. But thanks for pointing out the source.

Okay thanks. It's a badass illustration.

Thanks! It is similar, but there are also a lot color/line discrepancies. If I were to have copied it, I would've needed to do quite a bit more than run a filter over it. I was a bit surprised though, since I didn't know anyone had basically drawn the same picture before. I just took one of the screencaps from the movie that I thought looked good.

Ye, like the flame behind the horn and the rightmost tooth. I'm not really an artist but I've been fiddling around with filters for months, so aside from the small structural differences it's hard for me to see it. But, I've seen people come up with nearly identical images by chance several times, which is why I asked.

"Swords have no more use here!"
Later, Gandalf kills it with a sword.

So... you just took a screencap of the Balrog from the film, and put a filter on it.
Great job.

No, I drew it, which you can easily tell by the stray lines and stuff that you'll see if you zoom in.
I'll take your assumption as a compliment though, so thank you <3
