this is a beautiful piece of work. but i cant imagine Melkor like this scince Tolkien wrote that he was as large as a mountain and claded in ice with a crown of fire and smoke etc...

God I love this. The look of serenity on Melkor's face as he tears down the world about him. *shivers*

Nicely done. Was that the war where the Valar were making stuff and Melkor was tearing it down as they built it up?

I've never had the guts or aesthetic judgement to depict the splendour of the Valar. Nice work.
