Description
Sauron, in his fair guise of 'Annatar'. Wouldn't you like a Ring?
Pen on paper.
"Seeing the desolation of the world, Sauron said in his heart that the Valar, having overthrown Morgoth, had again forgotten Middle-earth; and his pride grew apace...
Men he found the easiest to sway of all the people of the Earth; but long he sought to persuade the Elves to his service, for he knew that the Firstborn had the greater power; and he went far and wide among them, and his hue was still that of one both fair and wise...Sauron took to himself the name of Annatar, the Lord of Gifts...
...the Noldor...hearkened to Sauron, and...the smiths of Ost-in-Edhil...made Rings of Power. But Sauron guided their labors."
-Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age

For ME?! Oh, Sauron! You didn't have to do that!

If it was him giving it, yes I'd like a ring. I love how he's "fair" but still manly-looking here. Usually, I see one or the other, not both like you've done.

:legasp: For me?! Awww, you shouldn't have! (No, seriously.)
Really liking your interpretation of 'Annatar'. Just as Frodo said, 'Look fair but feels foul'.
Fantastic job!

Pen indeed. I used four different sizes I believe.
