This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
First off, Happy Halloween folks.
Secondly, I won't add back the branch that only appear in portrait. Accept it leaving off your skin.
This is probably the craziest skin ever made because this one is a living building and the skin also look like a pissed off living boss. In all manner, you can consider this as a fire skin but otherwise, this tree is one stressful bark.

A new skin from you again taking a rare choice for texturing and doing something very different with it, I know I say it a lot but this is always cool to see 
feel like this skin would fit with your Lava Garithos This texture seems to lean more towards your cartoony side which reminds me a lot of your earlier works but its also a difficult texture to work with as large sections get put over large areas of the model.
The Good:
So many of the warm, lava effects have been pulled off flawlessly, the warm glow from the fiery parts to the sludey look of the magma and the way its dripping down. The colour choice is also done well with the black ashen wood of the trunk contrasted against the bright fire of the "leaves" parts at the top, this draws the eye to the best parts of the skin the top bits closest to the camera and the head. Overall colour choice has always been one of your strong points and the details of this evoke that. The concept also has nice variation in the execution, from the cooled stoney looking bits, to the more ashen wood looking bits along with the fire, flames and lava.
Areas for Improvement:
Part of me almost feels like this texture is a step back from your more recent stuff. Whilst the cartoony-ness is always appreciated and I love how similar it is to some of your earlier work, I feel like you've lost some of the better stuff you've learned to do in terms of detailing. For one, there isn't much there's large blocks of colour with nothing but a bit of shadowing. There needs to be more detail and colour variation within each "bit" in my opinion I can appreciate simplicity but to me it seems like its just missing some texture and feel in some bits.
Conclusion:
A great texture and idea on a tough texture to work with, very Shido and cartoony in style which is a strength but also feels like you're not finished and need to add more to certain bits in terms of detail otherwise we end up with just very basic shadow gradiented blocks of colour. 2.5/5, which is a low score, I'd still approve it but I think if you spent another week on this to just add those details to certain bits like each segement of the face and the trunk this would easily jump up to a 4, 4.5 or 5

To be fair, i do make it clearly that this is not a true fire skin in the first place. The reason I call it the Tree of Stress because he is themed around "The Office". Hence the black part covered most of his body is his "suit". Originally this skin is called Tree of Greed with paper money behind him and he is dressed as office boss, but the paper money for the leaf was way too complicated due to Tree Of Life's wrap. This skin would have been scrapped if i didn't turn his face red, which help reviving the skin to its life with a new concept.A new skin from you again taking a rare choice for texturing and doing something very different with it, I know I say it a lot but this is always cool to see

I do admit that this is my lowest point in texture due to hiatus from the last skin but making him wasn't just a challenge but a courage to show that every model deserve to have another wardrobe than just a palette swap. This skin will update in next week by the time i make this comment.

It is looking really good, what program you use to create such textures ?
I only edit them via paint.net so I am curious what other ppl use.

Photoshop, Gimp or other programs of that nature.
