Description She's a dryad emerging from her tree .. I agree the tears make her look a bit like Dawn but that wasn't intended...


I have done kind of an updated version of this pic for Arcane Codex .. it will be an adventure cover but isn't published by now. I'll post a link when its available.. untile then -- please don't ask me if you can use the picture for anything - sorry but you can't. (as I explained I don't own the copyright anymore)

Bin zufällig bei Google über das Bild hier gestolpert und habs sofort in meine favo geworfen!^^

Das Bild ist einfach fantastisch!
Die Trauer kommt sehr gut rüber und man kann förmlich mitfühlen.

This is going to sounds very strange but years ago (about 5) I used to be very into role playng. D&D and online. I had in mind this foresty red headed character. I ran across this picture and its what i have been using as referance to this character every since. The characters name is Caedrus and has sort of been my alter ego all these years (what i wish i could be) By pure luck i ran across your site and found this picture again. I just wanted to tell you that in a very strange way you have effected my life.

The sad thing about being talented is that everyone wants to use your art and no one wants to credit you. But recognizing that piece made me give your gallery a closer look, so at least there's some positive to it.

Doesn't it annoy you when people ask to see a bigger size and you think the size you have chosen to display it at is fine??? LOL anyway, just one of my pet peeves. This is really beautiful. The colours you have chosen for the hair and for the green compliment each other perfectly!

adorna In reply to EvilNinjaRochelle [2004-01-12 18:39:54 +0000 UTC]

actually .. its not so much that I think the size is perfect but

its the size I drew it.

sorry to all ..
that was back with my 14' Monitor and the size seemed fine ;D

actually there will be a bigger, reworked Version with a background I did as a adventure cover for Arcane Codex.
(a german RPG) when its finally published I might be able to post it - can't promise that right now..

the emerald drop
the emerald teaps
lovely red hair
the eyes stare through you,
her lovely pinched mouth -
all great elements.
honestly, the hand seems a bit smallish
and out of place - as if it belongs to someone else
i believe you could go without it.
other than that, it's wonderful.

So pretty. o.o She looks as though she has a sardonic or bitter feeling because of the smile and tears. The tree blend was also very well done. Great stuff. ^_^

I particularly like the eyes in this picture - they're very piercing. The smooth blend of the natural colors from the tree into the "clothes" of the dryad have a good transition as well.

lestat [2002-06-21 02:45:20 +0000 UTC]

Lovely style to this. The color choices are bold, which I like but I also wonder what some color and light manipulation might bring out in this. I am looking at this from a Photoshop viewpoint, which may not apply, but might no matter what you did this in.
