Almost done:
I used boltgun metal to pick out the skin details, then highlighted raised edges w/ mithril silver.
did the eyes w/ "scorpion green" followed w/ Snot green and after looking at it, decided to use the same combo on the raised edges of skin as light reflection from the scythe;

THE SCYTHE:
1 coated the entire blade and "swing effect" in DA green
2 leaving Da in the center of the blade, used DA+scorpion 2:1
3 leaving just abit of previous showing used DA+Scorpion 1:1
4 "the same" DA+ Scorpion 2:1
And so on lightning each coat to get eventual desired shading...*remember: its not necessary to blend on the model if you do a huge number of shades and make the layers thin (in consistancy and width)*

the effect:
started w/ DA and used the same mix as the "blade shade" to drybrush
put the final color on by highlighting raised edges

FINALLY FOR AWSOME STANDOUT COLOR:
put some water effect on them *be sure to blot it on... if you brush it, the paint will pull with it!

made sure to Drybrush some of the same on the cloak where the light would reflect.


heres a better pic w/ scythe detail:
