Mostly Sauron haha.

I drew the main forms he takes in the book; from left to right: Númenor, Gorthaur, Dark Lord (post Númenor), Annatar and Mairon.

Two scenes: The first time he puts the master ring on his finger and Númenor drowning. The two (random) portraits are Lúthien and Beleg. :p

I love the last picture especially, it gives me shivers down my spine, though I've seen it a few times before

Tolkien's books have been an inspiration for me since I was a little girl. They still amaze me after all this time. It is very special for me to see this works. So thank you!

I think my favorite among these is the one in the lower right corner. Ever since my dad first told me the myth of Atlantis, I've always been fascinated with the concept of lands swallowed by the sea; there's something incredibly primordial and fundamental about it - and to imagine what's going on in the mind of even someone as powerful as Sauron in that moment, when the world literally collapses. Sheeet.

The Drowning of Numenor - The look on Sauron's face - He's like "Shit. I did not see that coming."
Priceless

I really, really like the scene of the drowning of Numenor. Very dramatic.

This spectrum of Sauron's forms is so epic, sheer bliss to behold <3 It's generally real fun how different people see Sauron differently - how Phobs' Sauron is on the effeminate side, yours just the right levels of manly while our version is super manly XDDD The most fun part is that he can be all that, being a shapeshifter Maia and all! <3333 I'm so happy you're contributing to the Silmarillion fandom, you make the world more beautiful, thank you! <333

His eyes burning and the ring glowing on the snow are awesome!
