The image in the link is from a Dungeons and Dragon novel about the elves and you will see in the image the elf has human facial features with the only difference being that he has pointy ears. If you look at Baldur's Gate and compare it to the Forgotten Realms novel. They look pretty much the same in regards to facial features.
You can show me all the derivatives of D&D it makes no difference to me, because what matters is the original material. All these games and the cover of the novel you mentioned are the result of artists who don't know the lore and WOTC don't caring to make sure it's correct, since what really matters is that they have pointy ears right?...🙄 Look, you may like the elves the way they are now, but I want them to be more than slightly different humans.
