Second "sketch" page of my original dryad, showing front view and side view.

Her body was supposed to be a sort of exoskeleton of rigid and smooth wood with bundles of vines at the joints. Small sprouts, leaves and flowers grow over her body but the face, and there also grow fruits and berries on her vine-hair.

Unfortunately this design has been discarded because the combination of four arms and exoskeletric body made her look more like an insect or, even worse, a marionette. Definitely unsuitable for a spirit of life deeply connected with plants and trees.
