Howdy, this isn’t normally the kind of post I’d make on here but I’m in a bit of a bind and don’t know where else to ask.
I just commissioned a model of NILS from Octo Expansion by the lovely artist @rikacreature since he was only upper torso down and missing an arm. I did have to use the artbook and some creative liberties on the design to fill in the missing blanks.

I commissioned the model because my friends and I play splatoon themed games of Garry's mod and I really wanted to be NILS, however I don't know anything on porting.
While I could watch a tutorial I might need a bit more help what I want to do is a bit more complex than just a ragdoll.
I want it to be colorable or at least have the green and orange lights just be body groups, said lights defying light to act as if glowing, be able to have his laser as a bodygroup option with his mouth adjusting to compensate, hand posing, face posing, eye posing. The ragdoll should also have two sizes, a tall but fairly normal sized one and a massive one (since resizing ragdolls can be a pain)
That and I'd like a player model too along side NPCs (good and evil) just so we can spice things up.
Of course it'd be selfish to keep NILS only on gmod so I'd like it to be on source film too before someone tries to port it without my or Rika's okay.
So if someone can help walk me the steps on how to do all of the above (I'm a chronic dummy) that's be lovely, that or if you can do it for me I can compensate you for your work
