Right, well Paimons sisters are now pretty much finished and as such I'll be starting my other commissions. My original plan was to complete them all in the order that I got them in, however, that would take absolutely ages. And so, I'm just going to do them all, and flit between them all. To my customers: No one will be left out so please don't feel like I'm abandoning your project for someone elses, everyone will have their stuff painted, but doing it this way will prevent the tedium of painting the same things for a few weeks. I can flit between them and keep myself interested. So, lets begin......
Next we have a Space Marine Statue for Foster. His only real ask was that it be painted to resemble White Marble. This is a great oppurtunity for me to try out some more oil paints. Whilst I've painted white marble before, this time I should be able to achieve softer, more realistic marbling effects with oils. This kit has massive gaps, so I've started with lots of sanding and green stuff. Still some way to go but it should be relatively simple when it comes to painting. Cosmic A final messageI am truly grateful to everyone who has commissioned me, I really am. As you may have noticed I have plenty to keep me busy, but juggling all of this with 2 jobs as well will be hard. I will try my best to get everything done quickly, professionally and to the standard you all expect. I truly am grateful for your custom, thank you.

Good luck with this Cosmic, can't wait to see all of them finished and I'm sure you'll do them all justice.

Foster, having a look at actual White Marble statues, you will see that they are actually just white with a glossy finish.
That's the more realistic look to them, or would you want it to look different?

It'll be interesting to see what washes Cosmic will use for the white marble itself.
