What does Sauron look like? Visually speaking.

Has anyone every imagined what he would look like without his helmet on? I would imagine a menacing coldness in his facial expressions, eyes as dark as night.

That his armoured appearance is his actual form. Remember he lost his fair guise in the akallabeth , so I believe this is the only form he can take
Azog and Bolg. That is all I can say.............

This was Sauron's look in the ROTK but got cut out in the final edit.
(clicky for bigger)
Wow that is one scary version of Sauron!

it was only ever noted that one hand burned, not both, and not his entire body. The best description JRRT gave of the form of Sauron after the loss of his ability to take on a fair form was along the lines of being man shape, large but not gigantic and terrible to look upon. So a lot of scope for interpretation there. I was hoping we would see the movie makers version of Sauron unmasked, not just some flaming armour.

i like his look better in these films than the LOTR's

I almost wish there was no flaming eye in LOTR's, just a "dark presence" in mordor. Perhaps something like we saw in AUJ when he chased Radagast away. The way he appeared at the end of DOS was just awesome, he seemed very powerful and evil. -He lacked that in LOTR's, i know he was less powerful after dol-guldur but maybe they should have had him only visible when you put the ring on or look into the palantir. My hope for BOT5A, he possesses smaug, when the battle turns ill he flies to barad-dur and breathes fire onto the top of the tower which lights the flaming eye and smaug's body falls lifeless into the lava flow coming from mount doom. So basically he breathed his soul via fire onto the top of the tower.
The flames of war are upon you..

No problem at all. I think those pictures are really nice and well made. That gif is ofc from the game Shadow of Mordor where i think they made a very very good Annatar form.
@Elendiltheshort, Yeah, i remember that but not that one hand was burned? I remember and have in my mind that Sauron, being so evil and corrupt, was, as PJ did in DoS, where Sauron is showing off immense heat and flame.
I really like PJs Sauron in his fight vs. Gandalf. It explained the eye too. Sauron IS THE PUPIL and the flames comes from him. But i agree with you. I would like to see him "unmasked" and not his Battle of the Last Alliance armor we have seen already before.
@MouthofSauron, i like your idea. I would love and, i think, we need to see Sauron "becoming the eye" atop on Bara-Dur. The problem is that Bara Dur is not completed by the end of BOFTA, so how can he fly up there and take his "position" as the flaming eye?

seeing a finger missing on saurons "black hand" in a singular sense, so only one of them was burned black.

We might simiarly refer to someone as follows "A tear glistened in the corner of his deep blue eye" without meaning to imply either that the other one is brown, or he was a cyclops.
It might just mean, as I suppose it does, that the missing finger was missing from one hand.

That looks more like something I would have imagined him to look like before Akkallabęth. His face is quite beautiful and elf-like there and with the other-worldly glow going on, he could easily pass for the maia he was before his corruption.

It might or it might not. As in my example - am I differentiating one blue eye from one not blue eye or am I just referring to a feature of an eye which happens to be blue?

i think it is only "realistic" to assume he had one heated up hand
[In reply to]

otherwise he would find undertaking administrative tasks impossible, such as sending out torture reminder memos as the paper would always catch fire. he was also a maia of aule an expert at crafting etc. so how is he meant to hold tools in a heated up hand, I think he would have used one hand to heat up metals, and start his furnaces and use the other to hold a hammer and whack the metal into shape for rings, swords, maces so on and so forth.
