Description This is why you shouldn't give your kids Barbie dolls. However, I had a lot of fun with this picture, especially the purple lips and ridiculous eyelashes.

Update 1/24/07: I updated this picture with a more smoothed-out, cleaner version.

Update 12/23/09: Not intended to be a social commentary. Just for fun.

Update 8/12/10: There is now a TUTORIAL available for Barbie-ization: [link]

O.K. I will give it a try. You are so pretty! It looks like it will work but I am not sure. Do you want me to "barbie-ize" it (the eyelashes, lips, tan, etc.) or simply change the hair and eye color?

Hehe, thank you <3 Ummm, a very slight tan would be fine...he girl I am auditioning for is very natural looking so I can't really look too fake...Thanks again for doing this!

Big difference, but I like the brown-haired, more natural one

I have done only one for another dA user but I could try. Just msg me a picture with enough contrast between hair and background, and some light shining off the hair so that it doesn't look like a solid color.

awww thanks! ill dig one up! (my pictures have blue hair from when it was dyed, will that be a problem?)

mercury2356 In reply to a-northern-lad [2010-07-24 15:33:55 +0000 UTC]

Not at all. Contrast and texture are the most important aspects.

mercury2356 In reply to a-northern-lad [2010-08-05 01:45:21 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the late response. The best way is probably to upload it to an image hosting website such a imageshack.us and then send me a dA note with the URL.

okay, ill try to remember that. wld it b ok to send u an email (no spam, i promise!!!) i dont have a website like that, and it wld b easier

i'd rather not post my e-mail address anywhere. you can go to imageshack.us and upload a photo, and it will give you a URL for the image which you can send me via dA note. you do not need to sign up for an account or give out any info, and it takes like five seconds.

It is pretty simple: When you get to the website, click "Browse," find the image, click "UPLOAD NOW," and then copy and paste the URL next to "Link" or "Direct Link."

Of course I prefer the natural you, but you did a pretty nice job on the Barbie side - you really do look like her there! How long did this take you?

bueno, el pelo en esa foto es un poco oscuro (por las sombras). lo mas importante es empezar con una foto apropiada. puedo tratar pero es posible que no pueda hacer el pelo rubio. si tiene una foto mas claro, funcionara mejor.
