I've just finished the poor, forgotten tutorial number 6 and now I'm posting it. It;s not my best colouring ever but it's alright.
The PSD isn't up yet because deviantArt is still being a pain in the ass. Hopefully it will let me upload sometime today.

This colouring turned out pretty weird because I really had no idea what I was trying to do and this is just what I ended up with.
Step 1. Crop, resize, sharpen etc.
Step 2. Duplicate your base and set it to Soft Light.
result Step 3. Create a Selective Color layer with these settings:
R: -100, +11, +100 +100
Y: -100, 0, +100, 0
C: +100, 0, -100, 0
B: +100, 0, -100, 0
result Step 4. Create another Selective Color layer with these settings:
R: -100, -42, 0, 0
N: +100, 0, -24, 0
Set it to Darken 100%.
result Step 5. Fill a new layer with #FFBA61 and set it to Soft Light 44%.
result Step 6. Fill another layer with #71AB6D again set to Soft Light but on 56%.
result Step 7. Create one more layer filled with #370202 set to Exclusion 67%.
result Step 8. Make another Selective Color layer:
R: -92, +13, +90, +100
Y: +7, 0, 0, 0
B: 0, 0, 0, +42
result Step 9. Fill a new layer with #010015 and set it to Exclusion 100%. This adds a very subtle effect but I like it. If you want the blue to be more noticeable then fill the layer with a lighter blue.
