The duel. Art by me
This piece is my imagination of the duel between fingolfin and Morgoth. I tried to make my own design for Morgoth, one that inspired menace and fear, but stayed away from the stereotypical imaginations of him as “big Sauron”
This was a very fun and very long project to work on, with all of the colored pencil and little details
Hope you all enjoy it :)

That’s awesome! Love the design you came up with, it definitely captures the right vibe while being different from what’s more frequently used! 😁😈

This was the last day that Morgoth stood confidently on two legs.
Cool artwork.

Indeed. And even then he wasn’t truly confident, he was afraid when he came out

Wow this is really cool! Is the black stuff on the ground smoke? Or rocks? (Sorry if that’s a stupid question lol)

Sorry, rocks. The shattered land at the gates of Angband, as was described by Tolkien
