Thankyou for taking the time to read and help.

you already have a solid base there Zephy! what you could add, depending on the art style you are going for, is some darker accents and/or some chipped edges.

If you are looking for a tutorial series the hand painted texture series on 3DMotive is recommended: https://www.udemy.com/3dmotive-learn-the-hand-painted-texturing-style-for-video-games/

As for what style I'm attempting to go for, I basically want to try and replicate the style found in WoW, that might be a bit broad so i'll find some examples

Some more practice.

nice really like the colours in the scarred version, the latest is a bit...hmmm maybe too flat rich brown, maybe a touch of desat around the centre?

a corked knot might be a nice addition and allow you a great point of interest to build upon
