Description A commission for
It's Sauron! I really don't know much about LotR outside the movies + what my eldest sister gabs about, but if I remember right Sauron did go around as a beauty queen (before revealing his true nature or something like that?). Regardless, very fun to draw!

PATREON.

The only way is to read Tolkien's books....but start with The Hobbit, much cooler and more enchanting than the movies!!!

Sauron was a shape-shifter, able to put on a fair form when he wished, until he was engulfed in the destruction of Numenor in the Second Age--his body was so damaged that he could never take on a fair form again.Β

Wow, beautiful job!! It still amazes me that this is what he looks like under all of his armor, but still evil nonetheless. Very good job capturing that evil atmospheric feeling in this!

Sauron (originally Mairon) is a primordial spirit being called a Maiar. As Maiar belongs with the race called the Ainur. He's in essence the equivalent of a demi-god or angel. Under the tutelage of Aule (sort of the Valar of craftsmen and forging) he crafted many of the items around Arda. As a spirit being, he has no real physical form, he can manifest himself as any being he chooses....He's been a werewolf, a vampire, a serpent among other things. He took a beautiful appearance at the end of the First Age in an effort to charm EΓΆnwΓ«, near the beginning of the Second Age when appearing as Annatar to the Elves, and again near the end of the Second Age when corrupting the men of NΓΊmenor.

Oh. Well thank you for explaining all of that. Though I must admit, I'm not likely to remember since I'm not into Lord of The Rings.

The Ainur were the first creations of Eru the Illuvatar (God of their universe) as such they are the only immortal race outside the elves, they existed long before creation of the world.

ForsakenVanguard [2017-12-03 11:19:02 +0000 UTC]

The pretty appearance is something that happened way before the events of the books, Sauron disguised himself as a fair elf to more easily win the trust of those he wanted to corrupt. This little bit of lore was then the main focus of the Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War games, in which they had Sauron appear as his elf form a good few times. (still doesn't explain why Shelob is suddenly a woman rather than a giant evil spider but..... eh, whatever)

Also, amazing art!

Sauron (originally Mairon) belongs with the race called the Maiar. As Maiar are all members of the Ainur. He's in essence the equivalent of a demi-god or angel. Under the tutelage of Aule (sort of the god of craftsmen and forging) he crafted many of the items around Arda.

Even without a physical body his power is sufficient to affect the world around him.

In the movies, Sauron appeares only as demonic fire eye, we dont see how he looked (ok, we see him wearing armor and helmet, but his face is not shown).
