Post Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
Image

"O Garamon, O Garamon,
How lovely are your branches!
In beauty pink will always glow
Through summer sun and winter snow.
O Garamon, O Garamon,
How lovely are your branches!

O Garamon, O Garamon,
You are the kaiju most loved!
How often you give us delight
In brightly shining Christmas light!
O Garamon, O Garamon,
You are the kaiju most loved!

O Garamon, O Garamon,
Your beauty pink will teach me
That hope and love will ever be
The way to joy and peace for me.
O Garamon, O Garamon,
Your beauty pink will teach me."


Thanks to everyone who made this a great year for us, hope your solstice season is ultra-fabulous...

more pics are on the way! :D

You have added wonderfully to my holiday- THANK YOU for making this and thanks for sharing it with us!

Now, if the Gara-rolodex of my gray matter is functioning properly, that is not a custom toy or a resin kit-bash... you sculpted that, did you not? Supremely, jaw-droppingly awesome, Sr... I can't wait for more pics and details on this joyous beast!!!

Thanks all...(knew you'd enjoy this one Mike ;) )

yep, it's a scratch built original sculpt - clay, bondo, epoxy etc. over a wire armature...the only bits we bought were the branches and the decorations...even the eyes are hand painted. took about a month to make (roughly a hundred hours and a hundred bucks!)

happy festivus, y'all.

cheers,
a

This is amazing. He'd look great in a window, everyone would think it's a regular tree from the outside/back view and have a nice surprise when they saw the front view inside.

I did a Garamania post on this beast on Xmas Eve, with some additional pics from atom:
http://garamania.blogspot.com/2012/12/merry-christmas.html

The one that shows all of the minis-as-ornaments on his back really puts the size of the piece in perspective (Gyango's about 3").

Again, MAG-FREAKIN'-NIFICENT!!!

Post Re: Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
cheers, everyone...! :D

genuinely happy that folks are enjoying the big pink fluffy.

i did take a few artistic liberties with the character (i'm not much of a purist), like the texture on the legs - was going for more of a 'tree bark' feel, i dunno if it comes across or not. and the teeth are a lot more prominent, etc., blah blah...

:shock: moments ago we just got blogged by archie mcphee's endless geyser of awesome (via spanky stokes). w00t!

HAPPY BIG PINK NEW YEAR!
