I'm most pleased with the way Morgoth turned out! I imagined his armour to be sophisticated, yet crudely wrought - thinking of the Hells of Iron. It would seem with his corruption, everything he devises is crude and hellish. So, even Grond - as impressive as it sounds - is a big, nasty, diabolically heavy, and raw-formed weapon.
I wanted to compliment the Sauron seen in the films - I couldn't help it this time. :D
Even the look of Angband was to echo the "molten-formed" iron works of Morgoth.
Fingolfin is okay. I wanted him to be alive with light - maybe he's a bit too "glow-ey"???

I've experimented with the colour for it. Here's the result: [link]

Morgoth's armor looks great. I like those colours. When it comes to Fingolfin being 'glow-ey' I think it looks good.

Cheers! Fingolfin's bravery shone as bright as his light, indeed!

AWESOME!!! I'm reading the Silmarillion at the moment. This is just how I pictured Morgoth to look.

Great work.
