...Among those of his servants that have names the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel. In his beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulë, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. But in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void...
My favorite interpretation of Gorthaur/Annatar so far. I do not have a problem with the eyes on the right, as in the books when he was in physical form amongst the elves, he took great care to blend in.
Absolutely wonderful job on this picture! I love it. I think you really captured the character. Also, the wolves/werewolves on this side our a nice touch (and provide a great reference to Sauron's history).
