Being a thread created to share a project I'm working on, a component/prop of the full-suit version of my Gara-character (now to be called Pygmike; Garamike will still exist as his own head/hands/tail/leisure suit entity). I am TERRIBLE about documenting my work in photos and am trying to change that, so here we go... to be updated sporadically...
Unpainted flesh Marmit Semi-Ningen and Garamon coinbanks:
Each was horizontally, magnetically affixed to the side of a small rectangular container, which was tipped slightly toward one end with wooden shims. A hot solution of RIT dye was then poured in until the liquid level met, as closely as possible, three small Sharpie markings on the sides and heads of the toys. (Would that I had taken good pics of that process... see what I mean about being bad at this?
) Left overnight to soak. This created a level cutting guideline through and around the various crags and curves of the sculpts. The dyed backsides were then Xacto'd away:
...and the eyes trimmed out:
Giant hollow foam skull; Nordstrom head for size reference:
Purchased at Rite Aid a couple weeks before Halloween ("Giant, decently anatomically-correct foam skull for $10? Must purchase. I know I'll find a purpose for it at some point...")
Did some work with Aves putty, fixing areas that had been badly flattened by the shrink wrap (bridge of the nose was completely smooshed flat):
... and prepping the more poorly sculpted areas of the teeth for some work:
...now done... just needed to define them/deepen the grooves between a bit more in preparation for the next step:
Top o' the staff to ya!
7' waxwood staff from an online martial arts emporium, photographed against the Lectroid escape pod interior of my fully-closed-cell-foamed attic stooge-e-o:
Beginning to sketch the Eternal Gara-Flame:
Shape of things to come:
) I wanted to retain an easier-to-don, less physically demanding option (Garamike) outside of the full suit, and a decision to separate the two incarnations character/personality-wise flowed from that. 
), you could cast the extra parts in another colour have a real split personality. Gara- or Pyg- I am excited.
