Before the Oxidizing process: had to use 1200 wet and dry to clean the plate so it looked like this front and back, making sure the silver solder running along the bottom of the boat was filed right down. I then used liver of sulphur to paint onto my plate and the metal turned immediately darker which, as I put more sulphur on, turned to a dark greyish black. 
After...
I then used the 1200 wet and dry to gently sand down parts of the plate I wanted brighter than others.
I used a needle file to bring some texture into the animals.
