Dagor bragollach

With this painting I wanted to showcase sheer terror and destruction in this huge battle from Silmarillion. Here you can see a remainder of Nordor army on the brinks of Dorthonion unsuccessfully trying to contain this crushing wave of evil forces. Glaurung, Gothmog, Balrogs and many Orcs are shown here coming as the unstoppable river of flames from Thangorodrim. I'm pretty happy with the way this painting turned out. Hope you'll like it too. Cheers!

"I am the Elder King: Melkor, first and mightiest of the Valar, who was before the world, and made it. The shadow of my purpose lies upon Arda, and all that is in it bends slowly and surely to my will. But upon all whom you love my thought shall weigh as a cloud of Doom, and it shall bring them down into darkness and despair. Wherever they go, evil shall arise. Whenever they speak, their words shall bring ill counsel. Whatsoever they do shall turn against them. They shall die without hope…
