Maestros Plant Set Piece 1

WindchILL

Hi all, I'd like some advice for sculpting a piece I'm working on for a game called Maestros. Here's the concept (its #7)



Here's what I have so far:




It's assumed to be a large-scale object (bigger than a human). According to the concept artist,this is supposed to be a mutated mushroom. Its original color is white (tentative color subject to chance), and the rocky growths are actually hard bubbles. I imagine what he meant was something along the lines of this:



I don't have any experience sculpting/texturing organic material so any CnC is appreciated, thanks!

anyone that can point me to references on creating slimy/ooze stuff is awesome

The look of the mushroom cap matches the concept (although it doesn't look super organic to me) but the overall shape of the cap is pretty flat, and the base doesn't have that flared out look, or match the style for that matter.

i'll use z-remesher to lower the divisions and restart with a more round cap and see how that looks. im also planning on rounding the bubbles/warts to look more "gooey-like" when the time comes to polish them.

I would change the base colors to more closely resemble the concept; the yellow especially seems too vibrant.

color scheme was changed since the AD said the first one didn't fit our game's current color palette



nearing completion with the diffuse


@DWalker i took your critique into account, hopefully this looks better
