Hi there!
I’m Hyrule Symbol
just call me Symbol if you wish
playing StoneHearth i stumbled into this Tree
‘Ancient Oak Tree’… quite a name if you ask me
since this is a Fantasy Game, and i like the sounds of that
i thought what if we added a mythical… spirit in the game?
the ‘Dryad’ a mythical spirit of the Oak Tree(if i’m correct)
since we’re adding races later (by the looks of it)
i thought it would be cool to add some friendly(hopefully) NPC type races
this is a concept art of mine of a Dryad
the Dryad is in the Tree (zoom in by clicking it i suppose?)
(It’s originally 2560x1440) looks a bit sketchy (also in the literal way) but i guess it’s fine enough
Feel free to use it in the game if you want to (i doubt it)
My idea being something like this:
We’ll be able to plant trees soon right?(seems possible to me)
What if the Dryad is related to the trees around her?
trees growing faster near the Tree that the Dryad lives
Or if you grant the Dryad and her Tree protection from the monsters (like goblins)
The Dryad herself will grant you a special Seed
that if you plant it, it grows into a Really big Tree?
And something like this:
If you start chopping a Tree that has a Dryad living in it
the Dryad will fight back, and if the dryad dies(or if the tree gets chopped)
the surrounding trees will wither off and trees will not grow fast in that region as usual
and this is the close up version of the Dryad (drawn by a pencil)
that’s all i have to say!
i’ll be back with another Artwork or suggestion! (if i have any)
