So, here's the deal.

I've been roleplaying this character for a very...very long time. Roughly 21 years. He is, by far, my most favorite character to have ever been played, and his history is, for the most part, all roleplay...very little filler.

I've never had an actual picture of him that I was happy with. None of them captured his look...either they were missing details or just didn't capture his essence (usually just felt like it was drawn without any desire to do so). That's because...

I can't afford to pay someone for the drawing I need. I am fully aware that it is highly taboo to ask for a drawing without payment. But I've no options, and my artistic skills are non-existent. I am asking that someone, in their spare time perhaps, draw Sauron. I am willing to provide any and all information pertaining to him that you need so that you can draw him as he is. I can provide a full description of what he looks like, and will be able to fill in any details I might leave out unintentionally.

I understand it's a big thing to ask someone to do this without payment. I truly understand art, and what it takes to do what you do. If anyone is willing, I would love an opportunity to speak with you. I only ask that, for those of you unwilling, not to leave any remarks about this request. I fully understand the weight of what I'm asking, and that for some this is your livelihood. I'm simply a man with no other options.
