Firstly, great topic, I was first expecting something about her origins etc., but a discussion on how she was represented in drawings is very original.
Secondly, about Melkor, I find his portrayal here quite fitting. We do know that:

he put on again the form that he had worn as the tyrant of Utumno: a dark Lord, tall and terrible. In that form he remained ever after.

We do know that he in battle he wore black armour, so that fits. Perhaps we should have Grond instead of a sword here and should look a bit more terrible, but otherwise I find him ok. Also, perhaps no helmet were in order, rather just some iron crown, since we know that Thorondor was capable of hurting him with his talons.
Ungoliant couldn't have been that huge, since it was only after drinking the sap of the trees that she able to overpower Melkor and since she was forced to flee by the arrival of the balrogs. Were she as big as a mountain, I doubt that she would have cared about their whips.
