So, Zepar has arrived at last! I've already taken him apart and scrubbed his faceup off, and he is currently having his horns, hooves and wings dyed. I also spraypainted his tails. Carving, dyeing, sculpting, adding magnets and painting/faceupping are yet to come.

Dye bath for wings, horns and hooves!:
The wings, which turned out fairly well. They were oddly blue-tinted while wet, but dried to black and grey.:

The tails before painting:
I spraypainted them black, but still need to touch up and seal them.
The hooves and horns did not take the dye, so I will be blushing or painting them black.
I may also get to carving out his second set of eyes today.
