Really nice clean and natural colors. :-* I'd prefer a bit of weathering, but I guess the customer didn't want that?
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Very, very nice!

Love the colours and the shading of the cloaks. May I ask what you used?

My wife paints wood elves and is always looking at improving technique.

The green cloak used a mix of GW Orkhide Shade and Knarloc Green for the base and this was highlighted with more Knarloc Green and then I think I added VGC Desert Yellow for lighter highlights. I blended a little GW Charadon Granite into the bottom edge too.

The brown cloak used GW Khemri Brown for the base and this highlighted with Dheneb Stone.

The technique is just layering except I tend to feather the edges of the layers and use crosshatching to create the blending. It seriously knackers my brushes though and I get through them at a rate of knots!
