Jeff Wilson: Since there are many species of trees, I wanted to give some different looks to each of my Dryads. I did not try for a specific tree but gave characteristics of a variety of trees to the Dryads. I wanted this Dryad to look more like a tall, slender tree, but with lots of branches and growths. I wanted a more scraggly look to it to give it an appearance of age. Longer arms and legs were a must, as were trailing branches to give it more of a lumbering, walking look.

I used quite a few of the plastic bitz from the Dryad sprue, as well as the two root bitz from the Glade Guard sprue. After cutting the legs off at the knees and selecting two arms to use (which I cut at the elbows), I was ready to do some extending and pinning. With a pin vise, I drilled holes into the main body at the bottom of the thighs, at the arm joints, at the top of the legs, and at the elbows and shoulders of each arm. Learn more here.
