Evil Elves...

I find evil Elves fascinating.
There's just something about the contrasts that I find really cool.
For example, take fierce dudes like FÃ«anor and Maeglin: they've got all the physical Elf characteristics, and they're probably considered "beautiful" and everything.
Therefore it's so cool when you consider how evil they became: they stop caring about all the pretty-boy things, but they still are those kinds of characters.
This is really hard to put into words, but I guess you see my point.

I found a really nice drawing of Caranthir a while ago:

Caranthir looks really dangerous on that picture, but he IS an ELF.

I usually associate Elves with cute people like MÃ*riel, Finrod and Glorfindel, and then we have the "dark" characters that forsake their beautiful sides and turn to evil, which makes them resemble servants of Morgoth rather than beautiful Elves.
