Melkor for @vaethryn!
Melkor emerging from Angband to answer Fingolfin’s challenge is one of my favourite scenes.
(Go here for my art-only blog)This is really amazing, thank you so much.

Strange Visitor– RivkaZ 2015
Melkor going to pester men in the fairest guise he could muster.
(My only excuse for this picture is that I really, really, really wanted to paint something now that my tablet is back from the war.)
Melkor, the Enemy

Previous Valar: Manwë
I love this so much… he looks like he’s a hole cut in the void, the total absence of light, but reaching almost tenderly for the hottest and brightest volcanic embers; a titan head in the clouds, looming over the boiling skin of an unfinished earth, dipping a hand down into the mountains and magma to stir it carelessly, no more mindful of consequence than a child running their fingers through bathwater. So perfectly Melkor.

*sneaking back into Valinor like*

Just some Melkor doodles to warm up after two weeks of no drawing e__e;;;
His hair tends to reflect his mood, as you can see XD
The Silmarillion, Of The Beginning of Days: After the Valar brought order to the Earth, and Yavanna planted her seeds, she asked Aulë for light. Aulë created the two lamps, Illuin in the north and Ormal in the south. Then Melkor, jealous of the beauty of the Earth in its Spring, “… came forward suddenly to war, and struck the first blow, ere the Valar were prepared; and he assailed the lights of Illuin and Ormal, and cast down there pillars and broke their lamps.” (Destruction of Illuin, by Murgen.)
OHOHOHO MAN THIS IS AWESOME *_*
hmmMM… it was supposed to be Melkor/Sauron but I need to work on their designs oops
*inaudible shrieking* FAAAACE LOOKATHISFAAACEAAAAAAAAAAAUGHGHGHGHG ❤ <3<3 MELKOR YOU BIG BEAUTIFUL BASTARD
Did a sketch of Morgoth from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Really enjoying the book and it was fun to take another shot at this character; someone I’ve been trying to depict for years. The idea here is that the Silmarils continue to burn him even while set in the iron crown he forged to hold them, eradicating the flesh of his head as he continues to wear them in spite of his agony. I plan on doing a more refined version at some point in the summer perhaps as this is quite sloppy
awesome idea of silmarils ощо
Jewel of Fire– RivkaZ 2015
“When therefore Earth was yet young an full of flame
Melkor coveted it”
I went ahead and colored this bit of frolicking Dark Lord silliness. It started as anatomy practice and ended up as Melkor skipping through the fields of magma and primordial hellfire.
The hiiiiiillls are allliiiive, with the sound of dischooorddd~
I’ve been redesignin Morgoth lately but still not sure about these sketches.
I’ll probably go with the last one
SWOONING ALL OVER THE PLACE *__*
