#Sauron Armor

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

"...HE WROUGHT HIMSELF A NEW GUISE, AN IMAGE OF HATRED AND MALICE MADE VISIBLE..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an illustration of Sauron, the Dark Lord and Enemy of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, as he appeared during the Battle of Dagorlad in Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy (2001-2003). Artist unknown.

"...his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dûr, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure."

-- "QUENTA SILMARILLION," "Akallabêth," written by J.R.R. Tolkien, published 1977

Hello Tumblr,

My version of the Dark Lord Sauron in his fair form as Annatar. The very first digital painting, April 2024⚔️

[lemoneyshipz]

am i the only one who thinks mairon is a minimalism bitch? like his whole thing is efficiency he probably strives for the least effort for maximum results. I mean look at his ring too it’s completely blank and simple. i imagine him not actually wearing a lot of jewelries, maybe one or two pieces to show his rank but thats it. they get in the way of his work and he KNOWS he pretty enough without them anyway, his hair is already more shiny than any gold. i imagine him being high maintenance in ways like all his clothes are simple robes but must be top quality stitching and materials, his stuff is basic in design but always very useful and made with the best materials available.

THE WITCH KING OF ANGMAR

by Anato Finnstark

[martanis]

"When someone says, "Sauron" right, people are gonna immediately think of the Sauron from the movies. That iconic look, that armor. So, when are you gonna put that armor on? When are we gonna get there?"

alternate war of the ring decoy, featuring Quest For The Silmaril Part Two, Descendants Edition!

sauron: *chuckles* im in danger

bonus version:

none of theme even had to dress up for this, since arwen has the fashion sense of an early-FA doriathrim noblewoman (she got it from galadriel), aragorn dresses like a first age beorian with fingolfin's choice in hairstyles, and aesthetically gildor is a miniature version of his father. (the dog is somebody's pet and looks nothing like huan)

Armor still isn’t done done, BUT it was done enough to wear to FanX! Better pictures taken with a proper camera by a proper photographer are coming, but while I wait for him to send them, please enjoy these pictures taken with my very classy potatophone. Including EXTRA SPECIAL BONUS Sauron, @gingerkittycattwitch on the instant gram.

Sauron's armor + the one ring in 4k

[magna-lucis-art]

I have never drawn metallic armor or helmets before. This was an interesting experience. Also this is Sauron from the Middle Earth series.

like of course sauron made galadriel's armor but also its not that a wedding dress or symbolic in a romantic sense (it's symbolic in other senses, just not in a heteronormative sense).

there are two things that define sauron above all else and that is blacksmithing and giving gifts. even before he did illusions he did that. boy goes to any city and if he can walk he finds a forge. he is a celebrimbor stan. he will limp to that forge. he has forging hyperfixation. you can't stop him from forging things. and he will give gifts, that is what he does. sure those gifts sometimes have strings attached like rings that enslave you to the unseen world but you know, he likes forging and giving things out. the world will be burning and he'll make a thing.

(like i dont want to be like the sauron reveal in season 1 was obvious -- like, i mean it *was* -- but i saw him and was like, well that boy is obsessed with blacksmithing that is sauron. he made it his entire personality. )

anyway. armor is beautiful and adorns her beautifully. Only the best for his beloved toys. He is known as the giver of gifts for a reason, he has to give her something to entice her. You cant convince her only she can destroy Sauron if she is dressed in a chiton for battle! Love bombing is step 1, and giving gifts is part of this. And it makes so much sense with Galadriel's deflection later on: he offered me an army -- well he armed his general, that was his gift to her, to make her feel that way again (at what cost?). As he should. It's a way of building that dependence and connection, to show he is not just any man and he alone can bring her renown. Giving items that are there to bring victory in battle is very Sauron.

[disclaimer--sauron is a manipulative abusive bastard and i like it as a dark manipulative ship. also he aint settling for one plaything, he loves all his toys and routinely builds them up then violates and breaks them. this is not anti galadriel x sauron just anti soulmates/anti wedding imagery/anti halbrand is different than sauron].

A single picture of Mairon slips out of Melkor's pocket.

Mairon: Is that a picture of me?

Melkor: Uh... no... it’s n—

Mairon pulls out a stack of Melkor’s photos with a smug grin: Oh, thank Eru! Now I don’t feel creepy anymore.

Something I noticed with the costume design for Sauron, is there seems to be a subtle thread that carries through from s1.

After they got to Eregion, his tunic kept getting more and more embellished with dark pearls.

Example 1: Meeting Celebrimbor, then in the second shot speaking with Galadriel after she's become suspicious.

In s2e6, as Annatar, his outfit seems to get more and more intricate beading on it that I swear was not there in the previous shot. Perhaps he's just like "can't sleep, time to bead." :)

(I do not currently have stills of e6, if anyone wants to add feel free. I noticed it when his cuff glittered, where previously I don't think it had. Also could just be seeing things.)

[faeryraven]

So why is he kneeling? Give hope to my saudar heart.... Or let Gil-galad heal Adar with Vilya
