SciFi and Fantasy Art Reborn by Desiree Alana Sutherland


	This is my contribution to the Bifrost tree life project. The old tree has either fallen over or been cut down and i can't decide if she's a dryad there to repair the damage or if she is the spirit of the new tree that is growing in the place of the old. You decide! hehe.

13 Jul 2003	Amanda 'Kirrari' Morta	Loading... I love this. It's very nicely drawn. Her eyes are beautiful and the surrounding branches are so full of grace. Desiree Alana Sutherland replies: "I struggle with backgrounds and i struggled with this one in particular so i really appreciate this comment. Thank you."
4 Aug 2003	Dru	Loading... Cool such a beautiful drawing looks in a way forbiddon or something tre nice Desiree Alana Sutherland replies: "That's an interesting interpretation. Almost like she's guarding the entrance to the forest. I like that idea..."
18 Aug 2003	Laura	Loading... Beautiful. When i first saw this pic I though YES, she is the spirit of a new born tree, but I love the guardian interpration of the above commenter too. Maybe she can be both. She has a strength to her face, and you feel that the woodland would be safe with her. Well done. Desiree Alana Sutherland replies: "Thank you. When i drew this i didn't even think of the guardian idea but as soon as i read it i thought that it fit perfectly as well. I don't think i'd like to be caught with an axe in her forest!"
12 Oct 2003	Kristin 'drayfae' Hawkins	Loading... Wwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww looks like the tree was cut down..................And judging by her expression..........She is mumbling curses in her head..........Tehe..........
17 Oct 2003	Freya R. Massey	Loading... Such an original idea. I think it has to be a new born spirit, the way her arms are crossed makes her look like she's slowly unfolding.
19 Oct 2003	Wendy Bittnerová	Loading... This is such a wonderful character piece...hope you don't mind that I've added it to my "Gotta Love The Greenman, Forest Sprites & Dryads" tour!
6 Nov 2003	Vanessa Nelissen	Loading... This one is my favorite, beautiful. It looks very realistic, background is also great! Keep on drawing!
8 Nov 2003	Lea H. Stretch	Loading... Wow, this is so beautiful! Your best in my opinion. As I have just read the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis and there are Dryads in it, I just wanted to say that when a Dryad's tree is hurt or cut down the Dryad dies (or disappears) with it. Because they are connected to the tree somehow and they each have their own. Just a little bit of information that's probably not the traditional way of a Dryad but yeah...who knows? C.S. Lewis could have had it right. Desiree Alana Sutherland replies: "You know...i do believe C.S. Lewis had it right. I recall reading that at some point somewhere. Well i may be breaking with tradition but it still makes for a spiffy drawing eh? Or you could see it a different way - maybe within the trunk of the dead tree grows a sapling and this is the newborn dryad who is to protect that sapling. "
5 Jan 2007	Christine	Loading... Hmm... she looks like a dryad at me. I think I play Dungeon Siege 2 too much! XD I really like the picture! I like how you did her hair and eyes. The trees look like they are smaller than her, oh well! Still looks awsome!
