One of my first few finished attempts with digital painting. The duel between the dark lord Morgoth and Fingolfin. I'm not sure if it's finished but i felt i might overwork it so i've decided to just upload it anyway. This painting has taught me a lot from a beginner's point of view in terms of using photoshop as a painting tool.


“Last of all is set the name of Melkor, He who arises in Might. But that name he has forfeited; and the Noldor, who among the Elves suffered most from his malice, will not utter it, and they name him Morgoth, the Dark Enemy of the World.”
— The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill.
Great job. Captures the feel of that epic duel superbly.

Amazing picture of Melkor!!! I love it!
But but it is a shame that the watermark spoils the illustration.

If you would please make this available as a print I should dearly love to have it on my wall. The imagery of Fingolfin facing down Morgoth is very powerful and I find it extremely inspiring.

In the book there isn't any reference to him being any particular height, but he does say that Morgoth looked like a moving fortress, and that he towered over Fingolfin. The book also stated that he had a massive shield, and that he carried a massive hammer; Grond, the hammer of the underworld.
