[WIP] Need advice on my ivy wall

(1/2) > >>

sesame:
Hi everyone!

I'm working on this building's front side in low res, and whatever I do, I don't like how my creeper plant looks like.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something wrong with it. I tried a segment of it here in green and in red, and while I think the finer lines look more realistic, they just look a bit creepy and I don't like it. It's not supposed to be a scary scene. Also I think it looks kind of flat?




I made a study of the texture which I like more, but it's in a bit higher res, so I can't just use that.



So any CC/advice is super welcome.
Thanks in advance!

sesame:
Here's an update I've been working on.

eishiya:
It looks very noisy, and the flatness comes in part as a result of that. I think rather than trying to depict individual leaves, you'd be better off focusing on the clumps of leaves and the volumes they create.

sesame:
Coming back to this piece!
Am I on the right track here?

MysteryMeat:
definitely better, but also far too sparse. perhaps add an underlayer of loose moss?
