Well, its another dryad! i wanted to revamp the way i draw dryads so i made their horns larger, i made all their leaves go in the same dirrection and i made their leaves smaller in size and number. but above all else i wanted to show the beauty of the pregnant woman. few things can compare to the beauty of a mother-with-child. yes those leaves are growing out of her, yes those horns are made of wood, and yes those vines are growing out of her.

Okay, this is pretty dang COOL. 1 I love the originality of the picture AND your style. A pregnant dryad... not really a concept you see everyday, but you did an excellent job on that. I love the vines on her.

Ive often wondered whether dryads were born or grew from seeds, i guess now i know lol. Or maybe she will give birth to a giant seed! i love the emotion showing on her face, as if shes trying to come up with a name for her unborn child, or wondered if it will look like its father or her
