If I was making that, I would cold cast and hydrodip it. It’s easier to add the black than it is to add the metal, and a custom print would be very replicatable with consistency that hand swirling would not offer.

I would imagine that would be the case with any dipping method, but it is certainly feasible. Much more so than trying to intrinsically cast it. I would likely mount one end to a handle and dip it much like guitars are dipped. Worst case scenario you’ll have to paint some connecting lines on the bottom.
I'm convinced that the 'front' is wavy and not uniformly flat. The wavy pattern doesn't seem to line up with the topography of the surface as it catches the light, so I don't think the pattern is causing an optical illusion. It also looks like it rises at it gets towards the edges.
I think it's something along those lines. Put the resin prop on a surface with a hole in the bottom, then have mercury or gallium or something rise up through the hole and flood over the prop.

Any info on the metallic color for the helmet? Love the look.

I know this may seem obvious, but ill point it out anyway. The gloves appear to use yellow leather work gloves, with black finger-less leather gloves stretched over it as an outer glove. That or the tips from the yellow leather gloves were cut and sewn onto the black finger-less gloves.
Just my two cents

I have been really interested in the gloves so I did some browsing.
They do appear to be very similar work gloves to your photo inside some black leather gloves (with Fingers cut off). I think this might be the simplest part of the outfit to cobble together

Looks like it's a paint called Alumaluster, and it's $400 per quart.
I'm going to start looking for alternatives.

Saw that, thanks Chris! We need a thread for this here, Facebook doesn’t lend itself to this kind of discussion IMO. I didn’t want to steal your post but basically love to see the exact thing discussed here.
Can you please post the results here for those of us who don't Facebook. Thank you!FYI - We're working out all the blasters in the Razor Crest weapons locker on The Parts of Star Wars...

SO I think some aluminum work is in order.

It looks a lot more like paint here than it does in the show. Like, in the show it looks like bare metal but here it looks like it's got a glossy automotive clear coat.
