Thanks for the response!

I think you're quite right, I will then have to adjust my perception of Ungoliant when I go to read the Silmarillion for the 20th time

Good point about Morgoth. It would be cool to see him with Grond in the depictions, but didn't Tolkien describe him as wielding a spear, at least during the time Ungoliant went to suck the sap out of the Tree and drain the Well dry?

What do you think would be an accurate depiction of Morgoth in a drawing? I know there are quite a few depictions of him, but most of them are ones of him fighting Fingolfin.

In stature and girth, was Melkor a bit of a giant compared to Men or Elves? Was he like Sauron who stood head and shoulders above the rest as seen in PJs Fellowship Prologue?

I had always wanted to imagine Melkor as this attractive being such as like the Elves, at least at the time he dueled Fingolfin.

Any thoughts?
