The dragon looks great, and I like where you're going with the sculpting on the dollar store toy. Definitely changing the character of it -- for the better, obviously. I've also been finding a lot of great potential from cheap toys. And honestly, in the end you will have a unique figure that will stand out from the usual figures.

A quick speed paint.  Needs more work.

Good use of cheap toys, you've made a beast that wouldn't look out of place on a Chaos warband.

Holy sh... maybe it somehow is a good thing you dont have that much money for the hobby at the moment, or else you wouldnt have come up with these wonderful creative solutions.  ;)
You can be proud of yourself, that is some serious hobby-magic.

Keep going, we will keep watching.

Very nice painting, indeed. Especially on the Reaper dragon and the two toy creatures.

It's impressive to see what can be achieved with a little creativity to change that cartooney-looking dragon toy to a nice tabletop monster. The idea to not only remove the eyes and replace them with new ones, but replace them with four on each side changes its character in such a way that I take my hat off to you.
