So far what you have done looks good. The crest on the chest looks very crisp and clean and your careful blacklining really pays off. Pictures are a bit dark and the darker gold has an orange sheen to it - so I am not sure if this is just lighting or if you intentionally tinted the gold with orange. You may want to take some lighter gold and go over the tops of the raised areas - maybe even taking it a touch further and mix it with some silver. This will lead to a smoother blend of color transition (yes very possible with metallic paints as well!)

I guess better comments will come when the figure is more assembled and the full realization of your color scheme becomes available. Keep up the stellar work!

Cheers,
