I was at a party and saw a man who looked like an elf and so I made a beeline for him. As I neared him, I could hear his English accent and found his multiple usage of the word "brilliant" amusing. "That's just BRILLIANT!!", "Oh, she's bloody BRILLIANT!", "BRILLLLLIANT!" A jolly bloke, he reminded me of an elf....so I told him so. With a look of confusion, he replies, "I look like...an ELF?" "Yes! You look like a cute little pink elf!!" I meant it as a compliment, but quickly realized I had just told a man he looked like a LITTLE PINK ELF. Uh oh, time for some damage control. Quickly I backpedaled, "But elves are sexy, masculine and mysterious - it's good being an elf, don't you think?" He stares at me, "an elf you say?" There was nothing more I could say, I just resorted to blatant honesty, "Well, I'm rather fond of elves and think you and your impish grin are adorable." A smile crept across his face, so I asked him if I could draw him as an elf and he said yes. Medium: ink on paper, digital paint.
