Book Cover Progress

So I know, this picture doesn't look like much. I just haven't had much time to work on the cover. But I did get the basic rim done around the tree. I did this in Illustrator and I'm using a stroke to make it look like calligraphy and more stylized.

I'm really excited to get this done and hopefully it look half as good as I picture it. The tree will probably take me a while since Illustrator still gets the better of me. Thanks for reading!
