"and they were with Him...

...before ought else was made."
- The Silmarillion

In this image...Iluvatar, as the galaxy is surrounded by the Ainur and the Maiar, represented by the myriad of stars and gases. The Void has now been filled with the offspring of his thought.


I have used samples of jaguar spots, spider webs, and lightning to convery the nature and spirits of the ainur and maia.

Also contained here you will find samples of  the famous japanese image, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Hokusai (hopefully bringing to mind the Ainu Ulmo) along with a very subtle blue tinged wolf fur pattern interwoven into this image.
