I've had requests for simple step-by-steps.So here's one using my Kid Icarus piece.Basically shows a typical process.
Once i find the time,i'll make a detailed tutorial.So please bear with me for now.

Step 1:Clean lineart.
Step 2.Basic colors.I start with the foreground first,then moving towards the back.Usually finish up with the background.
Step 3:Add shadows.Remember to pick a light source.
Step 4:Add lighting and glowing effects.Basically all the little extra details.
Step 5:Add a background.
Step 6: Color balance.play around with color brightness etc,if you wish.

Here's the original piece:
