Maybe drow aren't degenerate elves that drifted away from old elf culture... they're conservative fundamentalist elves who held on to it. Creepy! I like that, too. Tirion is not the first city of the elves. Erelhei-Cinlu is.

But in Gygax's original descriptions, their skin is absolute jet midnight-at-the-bottom-of-a-coal-mine _BLACK_. Like polished black latex coated in silicone gel in an expensive fetish video, or obsidian, or maybe like the shiny skin of a dolphin only black instead of grey or pink. That's really hard to get across in artwork. That would look nothing like any human ethnicity on Earth. With their white hair and red eyes , I always saw them like some kind of "negative photo". Like elves , but the polar opposite, like come from some weird, star-trekky Negative Universe where elves are sadic monsters and orcs proud paladins of courage and virtue.
