I’ve got a lot of opinions on Grond and his hand, but not Melkor’s face.
Some Silm stuff from my sketchbook I forgot to scan ! Luthien in her dark raiment, Curufin and Celegom, more Luhtiens

Day six of Terrifying Tolkien Week with “Specter” as the prompt. Rather than go the obvious ghost route, I went with the more abstract meaning of the word: a hideous presence or threat. And in doing so went with the already-done-numerous-times Celebrimbor War Banner, oops.
I have no creativity. RIP Tyelpe
Black Orchid – Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’
In nature, black flowers are rare. The reality is that there is almost no plant in the world that is truly black in color. Most are shades of deep blue or reds or purples. This is also true about orchid flowers. Growers and hybridizers have tried many different orchid plants and hybrid orchid varieties to try to get to a truly black flower.
Among the most notable hybrids (since 2010) with truly black flowers (currently commercially available from Sunset Valley Orchids) you can find Fredclarkeara (Asparagales – Orchidaceae), an intergeneric hybrid between the orchid genera Catasetum, Clowesia and Mormodes. (Ctsm. x Cl. x Morm.).
The Fredclarkeara breeding produces flowers that are fragrant, have lots of color and are long lasting. As you can see on this one in the photo, the Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ is indeed black.
