In this case,.. it's a simple grass flock to match the rest of his army.

See,.. that's one of my personal pet peeves too. I like straight lines and crisp edges more then the shading/highlighting. It bothers the crap out of me to have my tunic color bleeding over onto my flesh,.. or my pants color bleeding over onto the belt or shirt. Sometimes, I think people tend to "overshade/highlight",.. to the point where it just doesn't look natural. Cloth, for example, shouldn't have as hard of a "highlight-edge" as say,.. a piece of metal. The transition should be less noticeable and "softer".
Just my 2 cents,..
