Ancient Elf sitting by a tree in a forest [Art Request]

Hello, I have been browsing this forum for a long time, and have always managed to find what I'm looking for either here, or on the world wide web. You have all given me the wish that I could draw what I can picture in my mind.

Now, I know this is a Star Wars site, and my request is not Star Wars. Unfortunately I could not find another place to go to find what I was looking for.

For those of you not familiar with the D&D setting, Elves normally dont age physically as much. As such I have been having a hard time finding an elf with wrinkles.

A bit of background on the story: The players are going to get a vision of a young elf. Later, they are going to meet an elderly elf, who will turn out to be the same person. As such I am looking for two images (but I can easily find a younger version so only need the one drawn).

So the one image that I am looking for is an old (ancient) female elf, wrinkles and all, resting against a large tree. If possible, I would like her to have the staff in the following image lying beside her, or resting on her lap (doesnt matter where, just in the picture somewhere). As well, if it is possible, to look like and older version of the woman holding it.

That being said, If you are willing to draw two images, then their look is completly up to you. I just ask that you have one item in both images (to make it more obvious to the players). It does not have to be a staff, could be an amulet or whatever you feel like drawing. (ring may be too small to notice, but perhaps a ring with some kind of rune would be good)

So, I would like to give complete creative freedom to the artist, with the one caveat.

Help me SWAG... your my only hope.

The request forum is for Star Wars requests... so I moved it to the community discussion... I have no problem with an artist doing it for you, but it's not a SWAG kind of thing :)

fair enough, figured this was a long shot anyways. Any help someone is willing to provide will be much appreciated :D

Tell you what, I'm intrigued! I have questions: IF I drew the younger version, what age would that be? 10? 18? 25?
It sounds like I would get to design the clothing, is there something you absolutely do not want to see? Am I free to use my imagination?
What medium is acceptable? Is graphite okay? Would you prefer color?
Thanks for the help and I am at the moment filling my sketchbook :)

Hello! I am glad to see that you are intrigued. As for what I do not want to see, well I want to give you enough latitude that you are still interested in doing this ;)

Any medium is acceptable, but would prefer color.

I dont have anything in mind specifically (I dont want to have the WoW giant ears if possible, more like Legolas type ears). As for the young version was hoping for 20-25. Young Adult look.

Thank you very much for doing this, I'd love to work with you to realize a vision :)

Hah! No WoW ears, no problemo! I was thinking about 20-25 years old too. Okay, I'll be working on this!
