Dryad 🧚‍♀️

Hi guyyyz

As the warmer weather has come now, I spend a lot more time in nature.
Watching forest plants and animals cheers me up and I really enjoy it. 🙂
That inspired me to paint a forest fairy. 🧚‍♀️

In the picture you can see a beautiful forest fairy walking through the woods and her home is actually one big forest tree. 🌳

A dryad (/ˈdraɪ. æd/; Greek: Δρυάδες, sing.: Δρυάς) is a tree nymph or tree spirit in Greek mythology. Drys signifies "oak" in Greek, and dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, but the term has come to be used for tree nymphs in general, or human-tree hybrids in fantasy.

Powers:

• Shapeshifting - Dryads could shift between the form of a human or tree at will.

• Longevity - Dryads live exceptionally long lives.

• Divine Protection - Dryads are protected by the gods who will punish any mortals who bring harm to their trees without paying respects to the dryad first.

Here is the process... 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️
