Maedhros wip

I read the silmarillion a few months ago and became quite obsessed with it.

Maedrhos became one of my comfort characters and my favorite of the entire Tolkien legendarium.

Maitimo / Maedhros 💜✨. I love him so damn much. I've been drawing him a lot lately and I thought it would be appropriate to give him a reference for how I imagine his scars. I still need to change a few things to be happy with the way i draw him.

Did melkor ever find out about numenaur? (Is that how you spell it?) and if so, how did he react?

In my headcanon the other Valar sometimes allow Melkor to get a short look on what Mairon's doing while he's sitting in the void. But its more meant to be a punishment. They want Melkor to see how much suffering he caused and still causes to Mairon. Melkor slowly begins to realize what he did to Mairon, it hurts him to see how desperate his beloved Maia is trying and always failing.

Melkor's not jealous...he's concerned, he knows that Mairon is doing all that in order to become more powerful to get him back from the void...and knowing that Mairon can only fail and fail again...having to watch this is a very painfull torture for Melkor.

(Headcanon)

I think this turned out unexpectedly cool. Luthien and her shadow cloak that she weaved from her hair

Companion piece to this painting

I painted over my Annatar portrait with my design for Sauron revealed.

I like to think of Saurons later-age appearance as being bleached of colour, and very wraith-like with shadowed eyes and deadened lips. I also really dig the design in the PJ films where the Mouth of Sauron has cracked lips because of the evil poison he speaks so I was inspired to recreate that here.

Anyway, hopefully the idea comes through lol
