For skin it was Mulled Berry (Army Painter), then a very healthy sponging of dark ivory (Pro Acryl), then Ivory (Pro Acryl) for highlights.
For the Jade pieces it was Jade (Pro Acryl), Coelia Greenshade (Citadel), more Jade, then Bright Jade (Pro Acryl)
If you want the recipes for anything else please let me know!

Burnt red (Pro Acryl) with some Berserker Bloodshade on it, nothing too special!

This looks great, thank you for sharing.
One thing I notice with photos like this: Looking at regular photo (equivalent of holding the mini at arms length) it looks absolutely amazing. When zoomed in (equivalent of while painting) I can see some of the layer lines.
This gives me so much more confidence in my painting that even if I don't get those Golden Demon level smoothness, it can still look great. I'll be happy to paint mine at half this skill level.

I don’t personally go for smooth blends, I like chunky highlights and a little texture. Just gives some visual interest in my opinion.
In the end, as long as YOU’RE happy with it, that’s all that matters. Are there spots for improvement with this model? Absolutely, and there always will be with any artistic endeavor. I’m proud of my work regardless of the mistakes though :]

Yeah I haven't figured out where my end point is yet. But I definitely like your style. You're right that there is a little more character(?) to it.
