This was Weta's original Balin concept:

I find it wonderful, much better than the little clown he turned out in the end. So, I am using this picture for my Balin, in all my stories, especially in "Mazarbul". Do you like it?
And since I'm shamelessly displaying Dwarf images already, here is one of my female Bifur from "Dwobbit", complete with fake travelling beard and the tattoos she earned after fighting Mannish footpads on the Road. I couldn't find a single linkable image, but she is the first on the left in the upper row.

Personally, I find her stunning, but that is probably just me.
