I think the trunk itself looks great, but I would work on the roots a bit more
looks good, but I second Midgårdsormen about the flatness...

I touched up the roots a bit with a touch of shadow. See my earlier post for the revamp. What is missing?
Now were cooking. Looks really good.
Coming along nicely - looks very much like a photo.

I like the look of that a lot. I'd suggest leaving the lighting until after the object is placed on the map. The flat colours will allow you to rotate the image to get a number of tree trunks that look different even if they are the same image. Then go over the map placing in directional lighting and you'll have a lovely map.

I have nothing to add other than that looks great.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
