(Here an aside: I have always been fascinated by the fact that Sauron chose to use an Elvish alphabet to write in the Black Speech of Mordor. Tolkien used this device wonderfully to show off the beauty that cloaked Sauron's darkness, something I think none of the media based off his work has been able to do successfully.)

This sketch, while nominally an illustration for my
merboy story, is also a little nod to a painting by Caravaggio, one of my favourite artists:
The Inspiration of Saint Matthew.
