So a while ago

ragdoll posted what looked like a fun meme, and I think a few other ppl have posted it since then.

Go to eLouai's DollMaker. Make a doll of yourself, trying to stay as close to what you really look like. Then, make another. MarySue!You. Extra points for wings.

It took me a while to get around to this, because I've been busy pretty much since the meme was posted, and it can take a while to sort through all the options on CandyBar to find features like yours and clothes that look somewhat like what you wear. Also, I had one big problem here: I don't generally write fanfic, and when I write I-actually-OWN-this-thanks fiction, I go out of my way not to make MarySues... I suppose every character is a little bit me, but I'm conscious to not insert "myself" in the story. So the second doll is the main character from something I've worked on for a while, or at least as much like her as it's possible to do with that program.

holy moly! they both look just like you! if you ever get elected to office, you can send them out to make public appearances in your place

oh, hush you. :P
the second one isn't suppoooooosed to look like me, and the first one looks about as much like me as is possible to make with that thing. the hair is a little too long, a little too full, and a little too warm, and the head is as close to my face shape (long oval or oblong, i'm a little jowly) as possible.

also, not enough tummy or boobies.
(this is really more for the benefit of people wondering how close it actually is than for you, yo.)

how did you get the whole picture to save and upload?
When I tried it, it only showed the little gif of the pet I chose...

Did you rightclick and save? I don't think that will work; it only gets the top layer, probably. I saved these with the little save icon below the doll itself. (i think it looks like a tiny disc. there are two other icons. one is to split layers and the other is to email. should be fairly obvious which is which.) the little disc icon lets you save a .png to your computer.

the other thing you can do, which is what i've done in the past, is to take a screenshot with CTRL+PRINTSCREEN (which you probably already know), paste it into photoshop, and crop it so it's only the picture.

I want to see yours! :D
