SFW: Not a Matter of Size.... by OceanLord

Poor elf only has a scalpel. Perhaps he's a doctor? Take note of the lightning shooting form the tiny skull earrings and how that eagle on the breast plate either loves or hates the cross.

Not a Matter of Size....

SFW: Swinger, But Not That Kind

A young couple rig up a simple swing in the middle of a deep forest. It is a time of peace and what better way to enjoy such tranquility than with some romance and cuddles?

SFW: Fairy by William Stout

Apparently Tinkerbell was indicted. Probably for those times she tried to kill Wendy.
that a weird snail by the way, what with it having eyes and a mouth plus it's slime is really runny and dripping.

SFW: "Almost Fairy Time" by Arthur Rackham

If you think about all the stories about children finding a magical realm or falling into a world of enchantment you have to wonder, do the things we perceive as otherworldly and impossible have fantasies of our curious world?

NSFW: Wild Tribal Elf

I find it interesting how there are so many brown and black skinned girls with blonde or white hair in Japanese illustrations and character designs. The aesthetic can be pretty striking and isn't only limited to the land of the rising sun with Storm being the most predominant western example to come to mind.
  
I think that the tribal and naturalistic styles are over looked far too much when it comes to the wild  or forest elves. When you think about it a people who would want to be close with nature and have little negative impact on it wouldn't be running around in 5 layer dresses, a whole bunch of plate mail, or even a fancy dress coat but clothes made out of animal & plant mater or nothing at all and would craft things out of traded, gifted, or scavenged goods.
