CONTEST (READ DESC.)

I recently hit 112 followers, the same number of followers as I have on my old account, so I thought that was contest worthy. Prizes for the contest are as follows:

 

3rd place gets a shout out.

 

2nd place gets a shout out and a custom minifigure of your request.

 

And 1st place gets a shout out, and a one-shot comic of your request.

 

Now, I know what you're wondering: What is the contest? Well, while this may sound odd, it is to make a fig, drawing, or build of a book accurate Balrog from LotR! For those who have not read LotR and don't know the description of a Balrog and still want to enter the contest, here's a description:

 

Around 6'4''. Skin's not certain, possibly bronze or red. Long arms. Should have armour, no plate. Claws and fangs, compared to steel. Long hair, possibly on fire, but not made of fire. Eyes glowing yellow, flaming nostrils. Helmet. Tolkien tended to make helmets conical, but a Balrog's helmet isn't ever described. Human-shaped. Evil. Cloaked in fire and shadow. The shadow dims the fire, rather than the fire lighting the shadow. The shadow obscures the Balrog, but not enough for details even as small as its nostrils to be unseen. Shadow spreads out quite far. It should carry a whip made of fire in one hand, and one of several weapons in the other: a flaming sword's probably the best choice, but maces and a black axe in one case are also mentioned. If it's the axe, it's Gothmog, lord of Balrogs, so he should be especially terrifying. Make it terrifying even if it's not Gothmog.

 

Contest ends on June 14th, exactly one month from now. Have fun, and hope you enter!
