Description
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

Sauron was not a flaming giant eye after he was defeated in the Second Age.
He had a body, as described by Gollum as "only having four fingers on his black hand".

He sat on the uppermost chambers of Barad-dûr (his Dark Tower) and used a Palantir extracted from Minas Morgul to see all of Middle-Earth (and to communicate with Saruman, also in possession of a Palantir). But he could not see all of Middle-Earth at the same time...

I decided to draw him on top of Barad-dûr with his Palantir, as he is described doing so in the books. I drew this using a 3d model for pose references that I downloaded. The model was not a 100% correct depiction of how he appears in the movie (99% correct, though) and is, of course, made of polygons, which don't create very smooth surfaces. I corrected that while drawing. He also has many runes on his body, which will be added on a colored version coming soon.
