With eye-glow to match Morgoth's? And maybe keeping his scar, because it's a nice little identifier for Zong!Sauron? But I don't know if adding the detail actually makes it look worse.

I don't think his face looks worse at all for the detail. It's really hard for me to say, because I can't visualize any of this properly, but I think both with and without a scar he looks fine, and could probably look fine with even more detail, and equally even less detail. I mean, his fully drawn face is amazing, it's perfect in its eager malevolence, the only reason to change it would be to match it stylistically with the others. But I'm not sure how "blurred" the features need to be for it to count. I feel that a lot of options could work well here.

Very true. If I needed convincing, I don't anymore. ^.^

I was gonna explain, but then realized that a
recording is much like a picture in that it's worth a thousand words. Also helpful for me, because I clearly have to work on my timing (I kept rushing too much in the first stanza and generally being off in the opening). I also didn't realize just how much volume contrast there is between the opening and the Aria proper, I didn't think it would be such a drastic transition. I might soften that just slightly (maybe make the opening louder?).
