Eldritch evil? No, no no no no no. You mean angry barbie doll.

All jokes aside I've been incurably obsessed with the way Morgoth deteriorated throughout the Silm. Especially reading it as his own fault. There's something so fascinating in a villain who had nearly all the power in the start and basically none by the end, not because of some glamorous defeat, but because they wore themselves so ragged by being evil that they destroyed themselves in the process.

And also I wanted to mess with his hair again. I'm a simple man.

#the scars on his face are sooo hidden it makes me so sad T-T #on the plus side they are drawn to (hopefully) represent and accurate injury via eagle claw to face :D #(hopefully. honestly i just eyeballed it from looking at pictures of eagle feet lol)#the things one does for art #i also imagine melkor's hair to be something that changes a lot throughout the events of the silm #starting off huge and voluminous (and somewhat violent) and then slowly losing its magic as time marches on.#also maybe losing its color? i'm not sure.#all i know is that i want my melkor design to be dynamic in the fourth dimension. and maybe include black holes. he's gotta be void creatur #and sometimes that just means warping light and giving astrophysicists a headache :3 #silm #tolkien #melkor #morgoth #dork lords #the silmarillion #sketch #my arts #digital art
