Request: Dryads and Drus for Genesis 8

ShadowTHedgehog1

Hello,

Back at it again with suggesting mythological creatures.
Recently, I have made a post about two Japanese Mythical creatures: 

Tanukis for Genesis 8 Females and Males (see https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/423011/request-tanuki-raccoon-dog-for-genesis-8-male-female-safe-for-work-of-course#latest)

Kitsune (see https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/424356/request-kitsune#latest).

Now, I have another request that is less Japanese and more Greek: Dryads and Drus for Genesis 8.

Dryads are forest nymphs that dwell in or as oak trees (now it's just an alternative name for forest nymphs in general) and Drus are male versions of those. There is a V4 version of one (see https://www.daz3d.com/forest-dryad-for-v4) but I wondered if we can have a Genesis 8 Female and Male version of that.
As well, for textures, maybe there should be textures for other different types of trees, like cherry blossom trees or birtch. Poses would also be appreciated.

The looks of Dryads and Drus vary, so, as per usual, I will post a few images of examples: Four females (three fantastical with different tree types and one anime I guess) and one Male (with a female tree spirit). Hope everyone agrees that this should become a thing. Thank you in advance.

There's Forest King for G3M by RawArt -  https://www.daz3d.com/forest-king-for-genesis-3-male - might make a good Drus. Don't think he's made a G8 version (yet) but depending on your vision of a Drus, Swampbeast https://www.daz3d.com/swampbeast-for-genesis-8-male might work - one or two of the texture options are in that realm.

Not sure for Dryads (I'm sure I've seen something over at Renderosity, but searching for dryad / tree being / plant woman turned up nothing). There's 'Gladeling' for male and female over there but it's not quite the same thing.

that would be something cool for RAWart to do, geografted trees are a very apt use of the word graft!

If you aren't hard-wired to G8, Renderosity has Sakura, Lady of the Woods for V4, it looks very like the first picture the OP had.

There is an interest in Dryads, or Plant people in general, as seen in this thread.

Some possible good Drus:

And it would be nice to see an updated Dryad resembling either of these, or any of your fantastic examples:
