Commission: Aileen Doll Dragon

The same friend who´s other doll´s I´ve been painting and modding earlier had another request for me: to fix her Aileen Doll dragon. The doll was super dirty, had awful old faceup, was desperately in a need of new strings and had a broken string hook in the paw.

First I took the poor thing apart and gave him a good bath. The old faceup was very tightly stuck and it took me several hours to rub until the whole thing was squeaky clean and bright white again.

With a help of a Dremel I removed the stem that had left from the broken hook and drilled a hole for a new metallic hook. This is how the resin hook normally looks like:

...And this is how I repaired the broken one:

After these were done, I started the painting by adding the base coats with Army Painter and from there continued as usual until I was satisfied with the result. Last I restrung him with new cords. The friend wanted him to have purple scales and silver horns, spikes and claws. Here is how he turned out:

Edit. Just to inform you the light really washes all the purple shadings around the scales, inside the wings and face away on the pictures. Irl he is not that white and has more tones on him.
