It would be easier to read out had Tolkien not decided to write 'dh' when he meant 'th'. I mean, I get why, but... :-/

No, it helps; lets me refine how much shading is needed. I agree that chins are a must, but I tried leaving Amarie's nose just now, and it was
creepy as all get-out - less 'art' and more 'MAMA CARANTHIR STOLE MY FACE AGAIN'.
So I've wound up taking this:
And turning it into this:
With hopefully the right amount of face that it's stylistic rather than horrifying. At the very least I think it's
better; I can always switch back if my face-game improves!

I'm gonna ask her to help me fix it, and then I'll modify the instrumental (won't need to redo all of it, but would need to fix it to match the melody). And we'd need to re-sing it after. I'm sorry that I couldn't do it properly, but I'm glad at least someone has pointed it out before we're well past this song.

Hey, no problem; I'm always happy to sing Sauron. ^_^ And the prologue for Minions will be affected by the de-facing (Beren and Barahir, and possibly Fan-Dance Sauron as well), so it ties together nicely.
