Gypsy-Rae"You remind me of someone who sang to me so very long ago... Will you sing for me too?"

Part of a personal angbang art series that's all about illustrative story telling and pretty details. =3
As I see it, Melkor eventually breaks out of the void, grabs him some fancy Arthurian armor and probably goes on a tyrad against anyone and everyone that sent him there in the first place... or anyone who didn't. He aint real picky. Revenge is revenge. After he's made himself known and enjoyed a bit of bloodshed his thoughts would surely turn to ever dutiful Sauron and look for him. Eventually he'd find his wilted little Maia haunting the shadows of some forest.
Deaf, dumb, and blind of the world and still rather senseless to such a point he doesn't even recognize his former master, Sauron asks the stranger if he'd sing him a song.
...Ok. That's ridiculously ridiculous but, hey, I'm allowed my stupid head canon bullshit arn't I? And look at me tying in my pictures with one another. It's like I'm illustrating a story... which I kind of am.
Random details because I think entirely too hard and much when I draw:
Sauron is missing his left ring finger as a reminder of not only the destruction of the one ring and hmself but also that he made his bed (in so many ways...) when he chose to follow Melkor and turn from the light. Eru has a sense of humor apparently to pick that particular finger to amputate, don't you think?
Take note of the flame decals on Melkor's armor and of the flames that encircle his halo. Canonly Melkor sought out the Secret Fire in the void but never found it. Maybe after so many lifetimes of being confined in the void, and assuming the fire was a tangible thing, he found something. Not the true Secret Fire, maybe just a spark of it that is just enough to give him a leg up on Eru... but then again maybe Eru left that spark for him to find. Eru is wise and knows that ultimately there is no light without dark and vice versa. Maybe Middle Earth needs Melkor's evil in order for good to show through.
Apparently Melkor is vain. That face on the breast of his armor is his own. The jewels that comprise it are fancy representations of the silmarils he once possessed. Maybe someday, just for the hell of it, he'll try to reclaim the real ones by tearing middle earth apart.
I like drawing random faces almost as much as I like eyes. :heart: That crazy face on Melkor's back is just a fancy, albeit creepy, shield.
