This is an in-progress character look development, grooming, and effects project. This is for my graduate capstone, and it was inspired by tree spirits from Greek Mythology, known as Dryads. Her hair is made tree roots, and they are growing as she sleeps peacefully on a fallen log. The grooming and effects is being done in Houdini, the surfacing in Substance Painter and Designer, and lighting and rendering is in Maya using RenderMan. Thank you to my committee, Felice House, Caleb Kicklighter, and Justin Lake, as well as my mentor, Megan Walker.
