There are many great works of course, but one of my greatest inspirations are works done by J.R.R Tolkien.
The world and characters of Middle Earth he has created.

I now have to admit i didn't really know much about the books before watching Peter Jackson's adoption of The Lord of the Rings trilogy... would say i was hooked instantly.

My love for elves; beautiful architecture, flowing robes, pointy ears and everything, trees and waterfalls and everything else came with the release of The Hobbit films... I was so dumbfounded.

Tolkien works has shown many portrayals of elves, every artist has their own take, as did Peter Jackson. From both texts and visuals i ever saw, for the elven -king Thranduil, I found myself combing all the different inspirations.

Evin-King Thranduil

Thranduil is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He is a supporting character in The Hobbit, where he is referred to as the "Elvenking," and he is referenced briefly in The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales. Tolkien describes Thranduil as having a crown made of red leaves and berries in the autumn, and wearing a similar crown of flowers in the spring. Like most of the Sindar, he would have been beardless, tall, and grey-eyed. The name 'Thranduil' means 'vigorous spring' in Sindarin.
