Sketches of Sauron confronting Lúthien🔥
I know maned wolves aren’t actually wolves…but they’re the most Sauron looking “wolf” if there ever was one. I’ve been messing with Sauron transformations tonight but I liked this one the best. I’ll share more soon~

you know what my absolute favorite thing that tolkien wrote is?

the tale of beren and luthien

beren is a roughish outlaw mortal

luthien is a delicate elven maiden

they fall in love and her dad sends him on a quest to win her hand in marriage and imprisons her in a tower to keep her safe

she breaks out and saves his ass like fifty times

and i think that’s beautiful

also, sauron gets curbstomed by a dog named Dog

She was- was the quality of sound that made it music rather than noise, harmony rather than discord. Her nature held no inherent physicality, but she would, in the springtime of the world, wear a shape to better hear the nightingales sing.

It was not her true form, the shape her husband had first found her in, but it was her most comfortable body, if she chose one, the assemblage of the world around her naked spirit that was easiest to put on. Elu had loved her in it at once. 

His people were afraid of it.
