This is an excellent, original concept! If I can make some suggestions: 1) move the baby's upper leg forward (not to hide the crotch, but to strengthen the rootedness of the tree). Possibly move the babyarm on the left out a bit, too. This should anchor the tree into the ground more. 2) do you have morphs for the fingers? If they were stretched and gnarled a bit, they would look more twiggy, as well as possibly grasping for life. 3) More texture, and a bump map which accentuates it, will take some of the shine off the skin. You don't want to lose the humanity, but I think more texturing will help. I wish I'd thought of this idea! Carolly
