I was doing some figure studies and I had balrogs on my mind, so these happened.
I wanted to depict balrogs as far more human than is normally done. I do enjoy the demonic, bestial balrogs which are more common (John Howe's balrogs, for instance, are incredible and rather set the standard), but I thought this concept might be a fun one to explore. I believe that Tolkien does refer to Durin's Bane as man-shaped.
Cheers.
