Posted as part of the Silmarillion40 event.

I went pretty traditional with my portrayal of Melkor, which is a bit different from my own headcanon, but I thought it appropriate.

The expression of Melkor as puppet player, both the focus of his concentration and sly satisfaction, are very well caught! (What is your own headcanon like? I'm not sure I've seen it.)

The suspicious glare between Feanor and Fingolfin is good, too, strong. And how the "strings" seem to be both obfuscating their perception of each other and feeding their fears, but are also not easily traceable back to the puppet master, because of their convolutedness.

Thanks so much! I'm still working on my use of expressions so it's encouraging to hear that I caught what I was going for. A rough drawing of my headcanon for both Melkor and Mairon is here: https://nixiegenesis.tumblr.com/post/163467311519/some-angbang-from-earlier-today-still-working-on Thanks again so much for the review!
