A drawing from The Silmarillion. This was a personal work.
Maeglin is one of the few bad elves in the Tolkien saga. He fell in love with his cousin Idril, but she spurned him. He was captured by Orcs and in order to save himself, he agreed to betray the elves to Morgoth. For this betrayal, he was promised dominion over Gondolin and the hand of Idril.
Things went downhill from there.
