Hey guys, working on a random prop,its a bit of a weird one and Im not really sure where the idea came fro. Im fairly new to modelling so any advice is appreciated. just thought it was worth getting some critique on this before I go any further and/or get some input
Essentially its an old gas lamp engulfed in wood/bark (Originally it as just going to be solid bark with a glowing core, the style/flow of the wood is very much inspired by Gandalf's staff in The Hobbit...
EDIT: Just realized its not very clear in these images but you can see parts of the lamp between the bark, the glass part of the lamp will have an emmisive.
Anyway, Images-

Use matcap grey or some other matcap that will properly display form
I find it easier to sculpt with red wax, detail shows up clearly but doesnt look horrible and over contrasted =P
EDIT:
Often get sidetracked like this, just experimenting/getting a better idea of how things are gonna turn out
