I'm busy making an Earth Warden, its a thing from a book I'm reading and re-creating. They are sort of like priests that worship the Earth, and there robes change colour as they grow older.
I'm going to get rid of the horns once I learn model editing.

Heres an old screenshot, the skin was bad, you couldnt see the leaves on his back, and it looked cheesy.

So I started again, and this time, all I did was use the recolour tool, and recoloured the leaves, it now looks MUCH better.

I have also done summer and spring, but winter is still to come. Winter is a bit harder, because there are no leaves in winter, and it would look bad to have icy blue leaves, IDEAS?!?

is there skin underneath the cloak? if so then i suggest you remove it all together, and make it a dark barkish colour with ridges n stuff in it, also can you remove the beard? its used in all skins of that model and i think it would be an interesting change without it (when i say remove im talking Alpha channel, if it was modeling, then thats good too)

I alphad out the horns, but it left a gaping hole in his head, so I'm going to learn modelling, and then hopefully, shorten his beard.

The leaves arent actually my creation, I copied and pasted leaves onto his back, then recoloured them to fit the season, thats why they look so good, there Blizzards.

Description of the Earth Warden by me.

An earth warden is someone who worships the earth. The have robes that change colour as they grow older. They can call on a "wylde" (a warrior made out of the earth) when they mature. They live very long lives, about 500 years.

Wylde: Its a warrior summoned form the earth when Earth Wardens chant a little spell.
The wylde is whatever you are picturing in your mind when you chant the spell. If you are thinking of a horse, you will get a wylde in the shape of a horse. If you are thinking of a dragon, you will get a wylde in the shape of a dragon. Wylde's can only be summoned once, and they take a large portion of your life away. They are also very hard to control.
