The Wicked makeup is actually good for their skin. It's really light, almost like watercolour and is an actual makeup brand. I watched a video about it once.

Crazy body paint!!!! I wonder how they did Groot (?)(the tree guy) in Guardians of the Galaxy... that is one cool costume or special effect!!

I'm guessing that it's mostly special effects. He looks amazing. I think, visually speaking, he's my favourite character so far.

It's probably similar to the way that they did Gollum and Smaug in the LoTR/Hobbit films

I think that's highly likely, yes.

I think they used motion capture for Gollum. Basically, it's a suit with special sensors or points on it over the joints. I think they use the computer to mark the joints and how things are moving and then constructed Gollum with CGI. That's pretty cool. I dunno how they're going to do a tree though...at least Gollum was humanoid.

Yes, a tree is a very different shape to a human one, so there would have to be an extra layer of creative problem solving there.
