Description
"But Sauron in his tower was aware of them, and doubt took him; for they went in haste, and stayed not to report their deeds, as was commanded to all the servants of Morgoth that passed that way. Therefore he sent to waylay them, and bring them before him."Thus befell the contest of Sauron and Felagund which is renowned. For Felagund strove with Sauron in songs of power, and the power of the King was very great; but Sauron had the mastery, as is told in the Lay of Leithian"
Yeah so, basically how everybody else envisioned this going down, right?
(I know it's not technically right that Finrod not be disguised and all but I mean come on.)

There are no words for how indescribably happy this silly little thing makes me, rather like your "Rehab" fanfiction. No matter how stressed or down I might be feeling, I can look at this comic and feel a goofy grin irresistibly taking over my features. I always loved this scene in The Silmarillion to begin with and found it rather amusing; despite the Epic feel that Tolkien was no doubt going for, I could never help but snicker over the thought of the great elven king Finrod Felagund and the Dark Lord Sauron himself competing in a sing off. It's a bit of trivia that I always liked pulling out for my friends who knew LOTR but had not delved further into the legendarium; "Hey, there's this story where Sauron and Galadriel's brother have a sing off, it's awesome!"
And in all ways, this is a wonderful tribute to this scene. For some reason, the way you draw the characters makes me Happy. Finrod is just so Pretty with those luscious golden locks of elf hair, rivaled in adorableness only by that diabolically smug Sauron with his glowing fiery eyes and sleek black hair and armor and very stylish crown/helmet. Sauron's eye bling is the icing on the cake.
Thank you for blessing all of us with your wonderful sense of humor and amazing artwork and writing! This piece is an absolute Silmaril

To those who don't know this is a reference to the Kalevala Kilpalaulanta were Tolkien take much inspiration for his own work.

I certainly prefer to imagine it was ridiculous and full of smack-talk rather than the subject matters it actually covered haha

This makes so much sense. I love it. Now whenever I read that part this is what I will imagine. LOL. I can imagine that they would be doing rap too. This is the best

I really appreciate that you said something about that cause I debated whether to include it or not since I wasn't sure if that was a little much. But the whole thing is a little much, so I decided to go with it. And I'm glad, since it obviously amused you. XD Heheee... I'm so happy with your reaction!

YES I really don't think it would've been complete without it. Haha, it's amazing how something so silly and lighthearted can resonate so much, and even just bring me a smile on a tough day!

I'm not sure if you mean this is not how you expected the scene to be in the book, or not what you expected the picture to be. Either way, valid.
