This look sooooo promising! I asked the same thing on the team thread where you posted, but is this a combo of alpha-mapped leaves on top of the ghibli blobs?
If you could post a breakdown of your model structure that’d be great. Better yet if you could copy + paste your model into the WIP placeholder, that way I and everyone can look at the structure ourselves: /SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE/SCENES/MODELS/WIP/NATURE/FG/WIP_nature_FG-tree-A_danitufi_00.blend
To me this is 90% there. Just some small stylistic adjustments and auditing of its performance. Stylistically the main difference I see in the art is the appearance of smaller clusters:

Smaller clusters and I think you’ve nailed the look. Kudos on color matching so closely too 👏
PS: I’m giving you full points for week 2 but indeed I’d love to see the trunk sculpted eventually! 🙂
