These are my elves. The best I could do with official parts and customs from Brickforge.

I made them fleshies to separate them from my humans, also to reflect their faire and beautiful features.
I also tried to find torsos and armor that are ornate and in line with the high and refined culture of elves (at least that's how I think of elves).
I stayed with green to emphasise their closeness to nature.
I also choose facial features that are a bit unusual, even feminine, to separate them from humans and to highlight their beauty.

I like how they turned out, but I wish Lego would have come out with them as well!

Very nice and detailed. I'm curious to know which technique you used for the decal on the kite shield -- It looks very well done.

Frank_Lloyd_Knight, they are regular Lego shields fromt he Oriental sets. Here is the link to it on Bricklink:

I think they have a beautiful pattern, and they are nicely chromed! :)

Also, it works great as a mandolin! Check this out! (Not my idea!)

It doesn't take a genius to know that long hair is a must. As far as the ears go go ahead and cut a pointed notch out of the headgear. Torsos are what sticks most people. Use your imagination...

^I personally like short haired elves, and their face doesn't have to be hairless.
