Warming up from my little hiatus by playing around with a different armor design for Thû. I’ve wanted to give him a spooky menpō/somen faceplate for a while now. :3
I’m torn because I love the look of studded leather and iron scales, but as, y’know, Sauron the forge maia, I’m not sure he’d need to conserve metal for his personal protection; there’s no reason he couldn’t go steel-clad from head to foot. So this is maybe just a light armor used for intimidation. …But that makes me want to make it EVEN MORE SPOOKY and ridiculous. XD This is my problem; I’m never 100% sold on any armor I’ve drawn for Sauron. Every time I finish a design I end up thinking “OOH! I shoulda done ____ instead!” I foresee many redraws until I figure out what I’m doing. >w>
Feanorians band, rivals of the famous Ang Band™ xD
i’ve had this in my head for like, 3 years

ps. I also have a feeling that snartha has drawn mae with a tambourine prosthetic before? if that’s true, i’m sorry i didn’t want to steal its just my ang band au headcanon!
1. This is amazing I’m going to buy all their albums and go to all their concerts
2. I’ve never drawn Maedhros with a tambourine prothetic, but I DID draw him with a gun once, and this is probably what made you think of me:
If there is another artist out there who drew Mae with an instrument prosthetic please step forth
happy birthday!!! despite the goings-on in the world, i hope you have a lovely and stress-free day, with all the good food you can eat 😀
Sherilyn, you are a gift, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! *flops happily*I adore the expression on Tyelpë’s face and AAAAH I am mesmerized by how Annatar’s thumb presses into his cheek and also I love how the gold behind him resembles a halo but is also dripping over him, I think the symbolism there is simply brilliant. ALSO just LOOK at the detail on Annatar’s sleeve, it’s stunning, and all the jewelry is sublime and just aaaaah thank you once again!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
