Barbie - Wanna Play Dress Up?

Description

Barbie is over 50 years old now (Barbie was created in 1959) and she still has the teenage face of an angel and the body of a succubus.

But I think all those years of celebrity lifestyle have taken their toll; Barbie isn't the bright eyed innocent she once was.  No.  Barbie has become a hard drinking, pot smoking cynic bound up in the image of wholsomeness she embodies. And off-camera, it shows.

This sketch was inspired by an article I saw on facebook called Badassed Toons; where an artist had depicted his/her favourite cartoon characters in a dark 'badass' way.  Barbie was shown Kill Bill style with a sword in hand and ken decapitated nearby.  But to me, this image was much more satisfying as a dark and twisted Barbie.

This was drawn completely without a reference so any mistakes in anatomy etc. are mine and mine alone

Excellent! You got me wondering now if she is Norma Desmond Barbie, Delta Dawn Barbie, or  Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Barbie.
