Happy Earth Day, mythology fans!
To celebrate our Mother Earth and all that she has given us, I shall showcase my representation of the nymphs of Greek mythology.
Although these nature spirits are divine, they are not immortal like gods.
There are different kinds of nymphs, which I depict in different ways as follows:
Dryad (Wood Nymph)
To match her forest domain, I gave the dryad green hair and a leafy dress, and skin the color of tree bark.
Naiad (Water Nymph)
The naiad is blue all over to imitate her watery home.
She also wears a swimsuit-like garment.
Oread (Mountain Nymph)
The oread has grey skin and brown hair, which are colors of rocks and mountainsides.
She wears the pelt of a deer, an animal sometimes found in mountainous areas.
Her expression is meant to suggest a fearless mountain climber.
Nereid (Sea Nymph)
This nymph is essentially the mermaid of Greek mythology, so that's how I depicted the nereid.
Instead of a clamshell bra, she wears an Ancient Greek-style top.
In the spirit of Earth Day, we must protect our natural world so that the nymphs may continue to exist.
(if they actually did, anyway)
