[How I do] Marble By Mineraleater Watch

Finally, a new "tutorial" by me! It is not the one i have been promising you for quite some time now...



A couple of months ago i had seen a picture on facebook where a guy had used steel wool and an airbrush to create some awesome Eldar Jetbikes. By now i had only done one quick test which did not really convince me so far, but i knew there was potential in this technique. So i started out my day trying to mix up a number of colors to create a more interesting looking marble. The result can be seen in the first picture.



Picture 2 shows the primed part i wanted to make look like marble. Yes, that is the base for the primarch of the Ultramarines.



Next i made some shadows using sepia ink in my airbrush. I don't think it matters if you use this or the next color i used... in the end both should do the trick for each step.



Here we use the "mesh" for the first time. Make sure to have as few obstacles as possible in your way as the penetration force of paint is neglectable. The closer the wool is to the surface the sharper those individual strings will show. Also, make sure to make it look realistic. The stains will not dissapear once you get around a corner, it breaks up all of the material, so it will show on the other side!



The step was repeated using a violet inc and usa grey (Vallejo). My camera messed up so i missed the grey step. But it is the same as the other two colors already applied.



Last step is simple: put the sand-color into your airbrush, use some water or thinner and spray it on, making sure the painted patterns will show through.





Done! Now you can add bloodsplatter, cracks, or maybe some more crisp patterns. I would suggest putting a gloss varnish over it, making it shine.
