It doesn't look like your normal maps are active in either of your render set ups.

solid work so far, right way to go. next thing you need to work on is your textureing-approach. try not waste 70% of the pixels and on the same hand keep the level of details. the material works well photoshop-wise in my opinion.
the presentation does not work at all. if you don't have a lovely environment available and therefore decide for something grey/abstract you need at least some shadows and depending on the camera angle, a horizontal line to indicate a horizon. it also helps to choose a "natural" perspective (i like the way it's done in the screenshot with the black background). always try integrate the asset into the surrounding world, even if it's a grey plane! what i like to use is a so called softbox. the idea behind this can be used with any rendering technique, if u use realtime rendering most of the fancy camera-setup can be ignored.
room for improvement given, good start!
