Here's my partially finished koi with some graywash. I was nervous and anxious like hell to do this. I started the shading with a 7mag and switched half way through to a 6Flat. I found it tough getting into the tight areas and corners. I went over plenty of spots but stopped after the 2nd or third pass I ran the machine at 7 volts. I'm sure it'll be very sketchy once it's fully healed. Looks better in the posted pic.
Lots to finish, fins, waves and more. Think I'll try a big round shader for the tighter details. By the way, 3 hours. Check it out!!

Rock on

I chose B&G to keep it simple for me since it was my first.
