[request] the lidless eye (LotR)

Hi all,

About 2 months back I requested some Tolkien related ascii art for a game 
I'm writing. Unfortunately I didn't get much of a response, but since I 
really need a title screen I thought I'd ask again (seeing as a lot of 
people will have watched the LotR movie I might get a better response).

I'm requesting a picture of the lidless eye, it should be fairly detailed 
and large, but small enough to fit into an 80*25 char dos console. Markus 
(mgJ) replied to my original post by sending this picture:

It's basically what I'm looking for, if anyone can come up with something 
similar of title-screen caliber I'd be very grateful. As with my original 
post the following applies:

If I use your artwork:
  1. your initials (if present) will not be removed.
  2. you will be mentioned in the 'credits' section of the game and README.
  3. no modifications will be made to the image without your permission.

So please help me out, I'd really like to have an impressive title-screen. 
just think, if the game ever becomes famous (0.0001% chance of that 
happening) you'll be famous too!!

But seriously I'd sincerely appreciate any contributions, and thanks Markus 
;-)

I drew a smallish cat's eye with flames like the one in the movie and
I thought I posted it but it's not on the server or in my outbox. Oh
well.
This one is something Colin Douthwaite (cfb...@southern.co.nz) drew with
the center filled in. But he died in March 1999. He signed his
pictures with -cfbd-

Hi,

thanks Bateau, I've done some (very bad) diddles on the pic to have it more
closely resemble a serpent's eye. I'd still like to have it surrounded by
flames, but I don't know how to draw that.
