#mairon has gotten shinier because i felt bad all the gold was just a border in the first design

Bit of a redesign of Mairon/Sauron. full body and design notes below the cut

Mairon's main influence was the mythological Argus because the main thing I didn't like about his first design was the lack of eyes. I wanted to give him the sort of vibe that if you got in a room with him you'd immediately be put on edge as if you were being watched. His tunic is slightly more greek than roman, especially by the shoulders and belt, and is generally a bit more practical-mostly because I couldn't really imagine Mairon in a toga because those things are so impractical if you want to do anything other than walk around very slowly. I also wanted to make him a bit shinier and I added some curls to his hair that make it look a bit more like fire. I imagine it would be made out of silk.
