A tree spirit... Pretty self-explanatory, no? This was just one of those spontaneous doodles that flowed right out in probably a couple of minutes or less. I love it when that happens... if I could bottle that frame of mind, I'd be a millionaire. :)

suh-weet! What with the slim breast and the gnarly root-like hands, and the puffy nose...sweet sweet sweet.

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Yeah, I wish I could get this much personality in most of my faces."

This is amazing. It reminds me of Brian Froud. (not the actual bloke.... his drawings......!!!)

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Hee hee... you said "bloke". 2Yeah, I was probably looking at a lot of Brian Froud around the time that this was done. As far as I'm concerned, he and Arthur Rackham invented faeries! 2"

This is GORGEOUS! I love how you manipulated the form. S/he's got a great face and a nice body; I absolutely adore it.

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Well, I -guess- it's a "she" (was intended that way). I'm glad you like. 2"

This dude is cool.

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "uh... dudeTTE. Ahem."

This is too cool! even without the description, I would have thought "dryad". There is just something about her build and stance that says tree.. you know what I mean? probably not. oh well... *goes back into hiding*

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "I know totally what you mean. Like I said, when I drew her, I didn't even have anything planned, but when I was done, she was so obviously a dryad, I had to name her as such. 2"

Can you tell me more about this woman?

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Unfortunately no... I think she was a passing muse. She crawled out of my pencil while I wasn't paying attention.Maybe my pencil was all that was left of her tree...? Sad thought. 10"

She's so very cool. I like how she looks all lean and muscular and stuff, she must have a really tough tree.

what happened to the beautiful dyrads of the river that you find in the ancient books of greek mythology? T_T

just kidding. =D great pic

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "If they're from the river, would they be "Naiads" or something?This dryad is beautiful in her way, but it's true that she doesn't much resemble the temptresses of a Waterhouse or Burne-Jones painting. 2"
