Looking *really* nice Dex!  The only thing that bugs me now is that angular bend in the new section of the cap where it shifts out of the 45deg angle.  I really like the staircase!

The texture is definitely interesting. One thing to incorporate it more into the piece though, would be to add texture to the side of the trunk - in the silhouette. Show where areas stick out. Otherwise it's flat, and looks fake.

So you're saying I need to add more texture to the left, darkest side? I'll see what I can do! :]


Sorry man, my wording wasn't very clear. I mean to add ridges and bumps to the edges of the trunk, the 'silhouette' of it. At the moment it's very smooth. Hope that makes sense.

Nice start, not sure about finished one. Cap shading doesn't justify it's shape - it shows on the ends it is bowled, but it is looks flat in the middle. Also color ramps has no connection between them which makes it look like it not related ob]ects placed on one canvas. Usually I don't mess with people's colors, take a look at edit, it is pretty sloppy but you maybe find something useful. Kill two colors in overall palette, made a darkest green less saturated to bridge between blue and red, drop some sky  colors on mashroom cap, play with a red rump (may ignore that)=)

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally like what you did with the mushroom cap, man, but the stalk's colors, not so much. I'll see what I can do with the cap though :D
