It's terrible as Annatar, technically good as a modern sultry male model though. Please try to understand Tolkien before attempting something like this - this shows a lack of knowledge of the source material or a lack of understanding.

Now I'm gonna be blushing every time I watch LOTR and hear Sauron say "I see you." 'Who me? 😳 ..stopp~ 😏🥵😍' Seriously, amazing work. The level of detail is incredible.

More than anything, there's something about the eyelids that sells this hard for me. It's like a quiet imperious contempt, subtle yet biting. An elven-ish sociopath all the way.

THAT LOOKS DOPE!!!! Exactly how i imagined anatar

Awesome! Love to hear it

Since Tolkien wrote letters on how he despises automation and heavy machinery (speaking not only of WW killing machines), it is obvious that Sauron is covered in metal and iron in Peter Jackson's trilogy :] Edit: great final result👌

Even though Sauron is so evil, the way you made him look makes me want to "put a ring on it" too. 👌 #sexysauron

I hope to see more Tolkien characters brought to live, would be so cool to see your vision of young and mighty Celebrimbor, Galadriel or Luthien. We got really disappointing adaption in Rings of power, but I feel better when seeing this Sauron.

"Upon that ship which was cast the highest and stood dry upon a hill there was a man, or one in man’s shape, but greater than any even of the race of Numenor in stature...And it seemed to men that Sauron was great; though they feared the light of his eyes. To many he appeared fair, to others terrible; but to some evil"

I rarely comment on KZread videos but for yours I do to say that your work is amazing this is probably the best representation of Mairon/Sauron as Annatar the lord of the gifts I've ever seen. If you feel like it for your next sculpt, you could interpret your version of his boss Melkor/Morgoth that could be really powerful to see the power of this Vala

Sauron is very similar to a character from American Horror Story. The wizard and son of the Lord of hell. It was played by Cody Fern.
