The Dryad:
by Micha F. Lindemans
In Greek mythology, the dryads are female spirits of nature (nymphs), who preside over the groves and forests. Each one is born with a certain tree over which she watches. A dryad either lives in a tree, in which case she is called a hamadryad, or close to it. The lives of the dryads are connected with that of the trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it. If this is caused by a mortal, the gods will punish him for that deed. The dryads themselves will also punish any thoughtless mortal who would somehow injure the trees.

Very beautiful image, great job!
cool character
Beautiful work Steve. Interesting mythology about the Dryads and Hamadryad I've never heard of such things before. Details like this would have made the section on Greek Mythology far more engaging in high school.
