Art by Mithrial - Perhaps Glorfindel or is it the fair but false face of Sauron - Annatar?

Creator’s Notes (optional):I have jumped a few squares along the blue path as this is where this art attempt seems to fit in.
Summary:Well this started out to be Glorfindel, but the more I worked on it the more it felt like it might be the false face of Sauron as 'Annatar'. You must decide and I'd be interested in who you perceive it to be.

He's quite lovely, but there is a bit of calculation in his eyes that I don't think would have normally been found in Glorfindel's )(although there certainly would be times when it would appear). My vote is for Annatar.

I think this is my best so far. I spent more time setting it up and concentrated on light and shade.
Quite amazing who turned up. Even as the artist, I didn't really know till he fully appeared.
I agree with you - Annatar.
The temptation is to make it into a gif so the eyes glow red when least expected.
Thanks for your comments. X
