DRYADIX IS HERE I FINALLY FINISHED THEMlore and design notes and stuff below as usualSo just like Sirenix and Harpix, Dryadix is earned through a quest. Elemental quests are traditionally initiated through the corresponding elemental companion, but a “cheat code” exists in the Elementix Compendium to kickstart each of the quests with out a companion (if the fairy already has Harmonix obvi). The Dryadix quest requires a fairy to create a crystal seed out of their magic, grow the seed into a plant with at least one flower bud, and present the plant to the Source of Dryadix on planet Magix. Unlike like the sirenix pearls and harpix feathers, there are no riddles to solve to get a seed, instead the Elementix Compendium details crystalline magic creation and plant care. There would still be some kind of virtue trial in order to get the plant to grow but its literally just like. Patience, dedication, nurturing, etc, just the regular stuff to take care of plants anyways so it’s pretty straight forward.Design! I’ve described Dryadix before when talking about Daphne and the elementix here but designing this transformation was a journey, the final results have serious differences compared to the original sketches I did. I actually ended up throwing some aspects of the “magic of joy” transformation from the comics in there? not a lot and only as i needed but I wanted a kind of ethereal feel to this one despite being the “earth” transformation for the elementix.  Basically, the updated Dryadix includes: loose hair styles with optional braids, a flower crown, a cropped vest type thing (neck collar bone and shoulders), visible ribcage filled with flowers, simple solid bottoms with some kind of waistband, a sheer multi-layer skirt, one sheer sleeve, solid color socks, pretty basic shoes limited to style lines as decoration, and a glove/bracer/arm thing that matches the boots and socks. The fairy wings resemble plant matter and have more glow-y veins than typical wings. Flora’s plant based biology is reacts strongly with this transformation, transforming her hands, feet, and ears into vines and branches (her eyes, if they were open, would have flower shaped pupils).ON TO PHOENIX and maybe nymphix. or witch ethereal forms. idk. -- source link
