Probably they're refering to how *modern* mythology (especially comic books) tend to make elves a bit Asian looking..not in body type, mind you, but the almond-shaped eyes, high cheek bones..that sort of thing.
I haven't looked at the drawing yet, just adding two bits from what immediately came to mind..as far as I know, it *is* an illustration trend that I've seen in various fantasy illustrations..to make elves have an Asian or at least most Eastern type of culture than western, especially in clothing and appearance..because it helps to make them more "exotic".
Anyway, just babbling...they're probably not flaming, just inarticulate.
