The other inquisitor retinue is finished with the exception of a little cleanup and thus it's time for a new project.
Some may recall this figure was being painted blue last year, however I decided to go with a dark, dirty and gritty scheme instead. Really aiming high with this one since I feel my skills have improved bit over the past few months. Also took two sets of pictures with different lighting to help with feedback.
Cheers~

I am really likeing the tone of the main piece of cloth. Looks like it could use more highlight to it though. I am looking forward to seeing the progress.
If it wasn't for the gutter my mind would be homeless.

the lower pictures are much better. I like the metal hand, it`s really nice. I think you will have problems with painting his face, it is going to be hard to reach
Here's where I stopped tonight since it really was a shite painting session overall. My main brush started to fray, paints dried quickly since it was so hot today and I forgot how to create some of the original colors since I did so much mixing.
Would like to point out that the plated gray areas aren't highlighted or shaded yet. I also did a lot of color experimentation which can be seen if you look closely on the second photo. There's areas where the gray is shaded with green, brown is shaded with a very dark teal, green is shaded with brown and there's some faint oxidization in the bronze.

In short, yes the actual shading has green. Read further for the long answer.
There's colors mixed into the shading all over the place, so you may be seeing some various shades of green or brown in there depending on where you look. The second set of photos seems to be pretty accurate color wise except it's taken with a flash which kind of messes with the contrast.
A lot of areas were repainted (mainly the tan vest in the front) after Neolis and Mahon comments which is hopefully apparent on the most recent photos. Keep in mind the intent is more to have some interesting tinting to look at rather than complete realism, however it will still hopefully look believable.
