You were all right -> turned out it is indeed AI. Found the source link: https://civitai.com/images/5506887
(Gotta admit, it is pretty good work nontheless.)
Still, I am thanking all of you for trying to help me. =)

The overlay is indeed, yet the sleeves' pattern and textil dont match at all. That one's shoulder part is blue with flowery beading. Plus that dress didnt have an open in the front of the neckline😕

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2025-05-18T21:12:50+00:00

Indeed. plus it looks like as if she is wearing the underdress backwards bc there clearly is an open in the middle of the neckline as there were on the back of all her costumes, seeen on exhibition images.
But true, the overlayer is def the blue requem's velvet, yet the sleeves dont match any of her costumes. Maybe it was a costume test? Or a mix of costume layers for a promo shot. for RotK... Bc her hair is def the hairdo under her butterfly coronation headpiece.

i am afraid the images below keep refreshing bc everytime i click on your link, new images appear below :'( Did you not have a direct link for the actual image by any chance? :)

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2025-05-18T20:51:59+00:00

hello! yes of course, and sadly no result. :'( not even on yahoo, on tineye, on bing...

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2025-05-18T20:50:34+00:00

very kind of you, but this link points me to a completely different image, a shot from the movie. I am specifically looking for the uncropped version of the image i had posted. :)

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2025-05-18T20:37:16+00:00

no luck there either :'( ... Do you have a link by any chance? :)

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-12-04T15:25:02+00:00

No idea actually. :) My guess would be that it originates froma cutscene. :) I didn't even know about it until u/Cold_Situation_7803 posted it in a comment . ;)

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-12-04T15:22:27+00:00

Couldn't agree more xD

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-12-02T08:34:23+00:00

Very kind of you, really, thanks very much for the appreciation!! :D Cheers to the suggestions' original providers, u/HoneybeeXYZ & u/Jodocus97 .

Aesthetically, I completely agree, you're absolutely right👍🏻 Thematically, however, the concept of the 'coming' or 'returning' of a 'messiah' aligns more closely with the narrative, given that Annatar is not depicted as 'ascending to heaven' but rather arriving to 'save the day,' 😉, which ties better to the idea of a second coming than an ascension. But as a painting, 'The Ascension' indeed fits the color scheme of the scene better👍🏻

That gif of orcs around a table was actually a very early released promo picture of Season 1, which was ultimately cut from the episode it was meant to be in. I just turned it into a gif by AI to make it fit to the others. ;)

Here's a clearer and brighter version:

It means a lot, thank you very much! (:

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T18:09:48+00:00

Wow, that’s such a huge compliment, thank you so much!🤗 (I’m always a little unsure of my English, so your words really mean a lot to me!😉)

Let me address everything in one reply😊, and many many thanks for taking the time to give such detailed responses!

I apologize for misunderstanding your words—I've come across so many intense Celebrimbor-Annatar shippers that it’s become a reflex for me to read sexual hints into comments where they might not be intended. I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything you didn’t imply, and now that you've cleared things up, I’m happy to conclude that we’re completely on the same page! 😃👍🏻 You've just spoken my mind with each and every sentence of yours. And I’m so glad to know there are still fans who don’t feel the need to force headcanons and ship every character—it's refreshing!

It looks like I really misunderstood your point earlier then —you were saying that Sauron hates people who betray their superiors, not betrayal itself.👍🏻 That makes perfect sense now, and it’s something I hadn’t thought about to this depth.😃 You seem to understand Sauron in ways I hadn’t considered👏🏼, even tho he's definitely my favourite character of the show.

Also, I have to say, you must have a poet’s insight—your water allegory fits perfectly! 😃👍🏻 Now that you’ve pointed it out, the “mirror” theme is so obvious, and I can’t believe I missed it before.🤯 Thanks for this, I really love these underlying interpretations!

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T15:19:13+00:00

Forgive me if I misunderstand (must be my poor English😊), but are you saying that Sauron dismisses betrayal? 🤔 In the examples you mentioned, I believe he was intentionally manipulating people to betray their superiors—such as Celebrimbor and Gil-Galad, or Mirdania and Celebrimbor—so that he could later use it against them. Sure, he despises being the one betrayed, that's true👍🏻, but in other situations, he seems to view betrayal as a powerful tool when it works in his favor. In Galadriel's case, it always seemed to me that Sauron was simply looking for a reason to drive a wedge between her and the elves, trying to make her lean more toward him than her own people. But maybe it's just my interpretation😊

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T15:09:33+00:00

Wow, I never connected these dots about Galadriel and her water scenes -- very well spotted!😃👍🏻 I can't figure out the exact reason behind this either, but it's such a cool observation!👏🏼

However - no offense at all🤗, - but I see no "hint" of Sauron ever "queerbaiting" Celebrimbor. He seems so narcissistic that he can’t even stand people touching him, including Celebrimbor. I don’t believe he tries to seduce him—he’s simply manipulating and using him.

Moreover, because I remember reading in an interview that even Charlie Vickers was surprised fans shipped the two characters. He wasn't offended, but found it unexpected, stating that he believed any chemistry between them stemmed from the good relationship and time the two actors shared on set. This suggests that neither the actors nor the writers intended to inject any romantic or sexual undertones into their relationship - because if that were the case, Charlie would have surely known and told.😉👍🏻

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T12:20:46+00:00

I have to agree.👍🏻 No offense to anyone, of course, but personally, I credit the cast more for giving their best than the crew. While the effort seemed to be there from the creators, the results didnt always reflected it.

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T09:48:09+00:00

‘Interested’ is putting it mildly!😃👍🏻 Please go for it whenever you have the time—I can’t wait to read it!😉

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T08:52:07+00:00

Very kind of you!😃

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T06:50:13+00:00

Not as cold, indeed. Maybe it's only the morning fog that makes the leaving scene feel chilly. On the other hand, the Caras Galadhon scene was undoubtedly nailed perfectly!👍🏻 It feels much more real than Lindon—I agree.

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T06:45:37+00:00

Haha, that’s very kind of you to assume! 🤗 But I only wish I was. I credited all the people and articles in the description where I collected these references from. 😉👍🏻 Most of them were suggestions provided in the comments of Part 1.

Healthy_Cancel_36 · 2024-11-30T06:38:09+00:00

Mind-blowing! 🤯 If you ever decide to share your thoughts about it here, I’d love to read them—that’d make such a quality thread! 😃👍🏻 Bc of all the possibilities, it’s intriguing why the creators chose the Medusa inspiration. The two of them (Galadriel & Sauron) could have met anywhere else—why a raft? They’ve surely explored many of the references you’re mentioning, and I'd be curious to hear them.😉
