Making a Villain - The problem with Showing Sauron

Sauron is an interesting antagonist. If you compare him to the modern antagonists, Thanos, Hannibal Lector, Anton Chigurh, Freddie Kruger, Darth Vadar, Itachi, the main difference is that we never really see Sauron. The most we see him in the movies is when he fights against the combined elves and humans and Isildur. But that's in the first movie. From there on, for a combined three hours that's the last we see of him. In the books, I can't remember a description of him beyond the lidless eye. 

I couldn't find the artist for the image, so if you know please post it below and I can credit it properly.

Do We Let Them Stand Alone? by JenikaFoust
41 parts Ongoing Mature
Galadriel has seen more war in five years than most would experience in a lifetime. She and her brother, Finrod, commanded the Great War's most elite death squad: the Loriens. Together they completed untold thousands of missions, destroying some of the Enemy's most valuable strongholds and weapons. In the last crucial battle of the War, Finrod was killed by Sauron, an Enemy lieutenant of reputed cruelty on and off the battlefield. Morgoth was killed in the same battle, and the Loriens were sent home. Galadriel and her commandos were expected to re-assimilate with the civilian population. Galadriel has struggled to adapt for months; but with her brother gone and so many of the Enemy soldiers, including Sauron, at large, how can she put down the weapons that have kept her safe for so long? Halbrand finally makes his way north to take refuge in the great city of Lindon, where a chance encounter with a half-elf lord puts him directly into the path of Galadriel. He's done fighting. It's time to atone for his misdeeds. If his identity is exposed, can he make the person who matters most to him understand? The two journey to the Southlands, where an orc father is pursuing a secret of his own. What is Adar hunting? That's a lot of very dramatic questions for a single description. All that cinematic fluff aside, I hope you'll take a look at my original fiction piece, as it has cost me many brain cells and many hours of sleep. #2 in haladriel #11 in ringsofpower trying to get in the top 100 of the lordoftherings tag but I keep topping out really close to 100...one day...
