"And He made first the Ainur...

The Holy Ones, that were the offspring of His thought."

- The Silmarillion

Taking my cue from the previous image...I stayed with the imagery of space and the eye to convey a rather difficult idea to get across....a divinity bringing forth into being...angelic entities from his thought alone.

I used the eplosion, a big bang if you will, to convey the multiplying of his thought into other beings. Each small starburst representing the ainur and maiar.

With the final image I added and worked into it more nature images...trying to bring across the idea of the houmors of the ainur and maia. Patterns such as fish scales and flowers as well as a firework blasts, peacock feathers and leaves on a bough...all bringing to mind the roles the ainur and maia will come to play in the development of Arda.
