Both the vamped Dru and the human Dru figures were painted too dark (IMHO) - darker than even the very tanned Cordy, which makes her look very odd next to the quite pale Spike figure. I decided to fix that by giving her more of an alabaster skin tone. I also painted her dress white, repainted the makeup, added some jewellry and modified her hairstyle (incorporating the pinned curls at the back from the vamp Dru figure).

I did something similar, I repainted it and devamped the vamp dru head since it had the better facial sculpt, I just knocked the bumpies off.

Wow. That must've been quite a bit of work!
I decided to borrow the hair from the back of vamp Dru's head and put it onto the back of the regular Dru head. I plan to re-use vamp Dru's face for another custom - perhaps a vamped Darla or some other female vamp.

Cool! I like the addition of the sleeves. I think it makes it a more Drusilla-like dress.

Hey, thanks! Yes, I think it's more of a Drusilla outfit. If I wasn't so lazy, I would've revamped the figure a little more (no pun intended), getting rid of the boustier completely and making it look more like her white empire-waisted gown. But, I think a coat of paint does the trick fine. |

Awesome! Love the touched-up makeup. That and the hair curls on the back of her head make that head sculpt look so much better ;D And of course the correct skin tone  |

Wow! That looks really good. I like the new skin tone. What color did you use? It looks much more natural.

I use Liquitex Acrylic Paints when I paint custom figs.
For Dru's skin colour, I used a mixture of light portrait pink with a little burnt sienna added to warm it up.
