Greek mythology also seems to predominantly feature human-looking gods with elemental powers, rather than creatures that embody their elements. I think looking at creating a mother/earth figure based on the dryad/tree nymph Eurydice would be interesting. I think to keep her from looking too human, I would add subtle tree-like textural elements. I will research further into dryads and nymphs to see how they have been done before and how I can create an original take on them. 

This design could be influenced a lot by my previous research into the tree characters from Face Off.

However, as I am working on a film creating Cernunnos (a Celtic horned fertility god similar to Pan) I will not be creating this design, as I will already be creating an earth-type deity.
