“But Uinen wept for the mariners of the Teleri; and the sea rose in wrath against the slayers, so that many of the ships were wrecked and those in them drowned.”

–Of the Flight of The Noldor, The Silmarillion

This is something I wanted to draw for a long, long time. Uinen is the best Ainur ever. 

I’m quite pleased with how this came out!

Darkness has no form, it can take any shape, always twisting, changing…
As the Master of Shadows Pitch is a perfect shapeshifter and use this ability to disguise himself. He mostly takes different animal forms, but the big black wolf is his favorite, because it mirrors the Nightmare King’s soul – untamable, fierce, proud and lonely. And that’s also why he has scars on his nose.

My blog’s reaction sketches are getting out of hand. 
I need to do some real costume sketches for Sauron’s wolfy warlord outfit because I like where that cape idea was going…

Attestation of Vegvísir in the Huld Manuscript.
The Huld Manuscript is the name given to the book of collected Icelandic staves and spells, compiled by Geir Vigfusson in the 19th Century. Huld is the name of a völva in the Ynglinga and Sturlunga Sagas, who practiced Seiðr magic. A later Icelandic tale by Snorri Sturlusson tells us that she was a mistress of Odin, and mothered two demi-goddesses by him, who were named Þorgerðr and Irpa. If we look at the etymology, “Huld” means “Hidden” or “Secret” and is derived from Old Norse “Hulda”. This root is seen in many other words in Germanic lore.
