Hi looking for some c&c to push this mini a bit further specifically the steel parts (chainmale and sine plates) and the skin right now
Was thinking of the source light coming from the right if it wasn't obvious
Trying to go for warm tones
Open to any other feedback of course

The skin already seems to have pretty good contrast (and tons of accurate details, kudos!) If anything, I'd say the nose highlight towards the tip could be off-centered slightly towards the light? And the phalanx on his left hand could have lighter dots towards the light (like you did the other hand). But most of the feeling of the light is already there on the skin. I guess you haven't finished the cloth, but that is what will participate in the feeling of the light once it too is lit from the character's left. Oh, maybe the fur too could participate in "being lit from the same source"?
I'm not competent on nmm so I'll leave that for others 😉
PS: if you got a chance to white-balance the picture, I guess it would help feedback. Most photo editors have an option for this.

My eye completely believes all the highlight placement with one exception. The highlights on his upper and lower lip feel a bit off (maybe the upper lift highlight needs to shift more to the right?) Overall it’s very convincing 👌
