As you can see it is still far away from what I envision it to be, but I am a bit at loss as to how to proceed from here. What I see is that the rocks are a bit too clean, the floor is too smooth, the moss does not have clear separations and is not saturated enough. The tree will follow in a later step.

Any tips as to how I can progress towards the reference would be appreciated.

Cheers,

PS.: Is this something you do? Using generative AI for reference and try to recreate it using Blender?
