Artist's Comments

"Dryads are tree spirits in Greek mythology. Technically speaking, dryads are the nymphs of oak trees, but the term has come to be used for all tree nymphs in general. Drys in Greek signifies 'oak,' from an Indo-European root *derew(o)- 'tree' or 'wood."

And here is #10! The non animal metamorphosis in this series. *lockstock is the fabulous model of course. I repainted the entire photograph. You can find the original here:

This is my favourite metamorphosis so far. I tried some different colouring again and I think the results is quite satisfying, less monochromatic than usual. The roots took me forever, they are a combination of photographs and painting. Lots and lots a lots of painting.

The orginal image size is 5400 x 3600px

I hope you like it!

Squeeeee! I LOVE this Em! The pose and colouring go so well with the "theme" (i guess you could say) of this metamorphosis =]

I'm sorry I haven't been commenting lately, life has been somewhat hectic (what with school starting up again in a week and all :crying:) and busy =/

:music:You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey:music:
