Nowhere does it say that he has no eyelids. Sauron is never described as such. The only time the lidless eye is referred to is when Frodo sees the eye of Barad-Dur in the mirror. That's it. LOL

haha yes. But Sauron didn't have white chocolate panettone either, and it doesn't mention that. In the Breaking of the Fellowship when Frodo is on the stone throne we have, βAnd suddenly he felt theΒ Eye. There was an eyeΒ in the Dark Tower that did not sleep. He knew that it had become aware of his gaze.β although not sleeping is certainly not the same as lidless.
But i do not mean to be argumentative in defending my mistakes you are right, of course.

LOL
Suffice to say I did enough research into the character to know what I'm doing when I'm doing it. Mainly because I don't do this kind of thing half-assed, or lightly.

There's nothing about this painting that seems half-assed or lightly done, i'm in awe of it, in case that wasn't clear.

My goodness... I find myself absolutely fascinated by the marks on him, the fact that they look so raw. I love it.
