Since everyone will be clamouring after a 28mm wargaming figure-range once the Elric film comes out, and no-one wants Games Workshop to get the rights, here are some of the better sculptors of elfin types currently working in the industry - just to help you get a feel for what's out there.
Tom Meier (Owns "Thunderbolt Mountain", and has freelanced widely for many, many years. His detail work has shot up in quality since his return to wargames manufacturing after a long sojourn in the toy industry. He's currently widely rated as technically the finest sculptor of elves now working, although his style doesn't appeal to everyone, and his sculpting-rate is slower than many - which is inevitable given the quality of his work.)

Steve Buddle (Owns "Spyglass", and has freelanced for GW, among others. He's well known for his exquisite female elves. However, his sculpting-rate is even slower than Meier's!)

Mark Copplestone (Owns "Copplestone", was in-house sculptor for Foundry and Grenadier. These elves were sculpted (for Grenadier) some years ago now - more recently he has established himself as one of the leading names in the historical miniature industry.)

Andy Cooper (I think he did these elves) - top sculptor with West Wind.

Werner Klocke (Owns Freebooter, has freelanced heavily for Reaper - he's especially well known for the innovative posing of his miniatures. Tends only to do 'characters', rather than rank and file. Same goes for Buddle btw.)
http://www.reapermini.com/store/cust...?substring=elf - quite a few Klocke elves here, alongside some offerings by the oh-so-boring Sandra Garrity, and others.

Rackham (Don't know the names of their sculptors, but they're darn good! Their supposedly human Allanon range is pretty elfin, and they've just started an elf range.)

Thierry Crabouliet (Owns "Fenryll" - has improved dramatically over the last year. Fenryll differ from the above in that they use resin instead of pewter)

Oh, and Games Workshop's Jes Goodwin is pretty awesome too - but he works for Games Workshop.
