I started by gathering inspiration and references for the elf character, her environment and her swimsuit style. While digging through the archives of elven fashion, I discovered an ancient trend where elves wore swimsuits woven from tree of life leaves, a material that changes color when in contact with water.

I drew an initial sketch to define the pose, proportions and overall style of the elf. I remembered an elven legend that says that the pose of an elf at rest reflects its harmony with nature, so I chose a pose that evoked the fluidity of a waterfall.

I then used an artificial intelligence tool to apply a first layer of colors. It was as if the tool had its own magic, suggesting hues that seemed straight from a sunset over the forest of Lórien.

Finally, I imported the illustration into Photoshop to refine details, adjust colors, add textures and lighting effects. I tried to make an elven jersey, each curve and line of which seemed to whisper enchantments. These symbols, full of history and magic, gave the whole thing an aura of mystery and timeless beauty.

In the end, I was proud of the result: an elf in a swimsuit who looked ready to dive into a summer adventure. She embodied the elven joie de vivre, ready to swim in the sacred waters of Valinor or lounge on the shores.
