It's time for Round II of Candlekeep's Grand Fanart Contest! The winner of this round will receive one free copy of BG:EE as well as one free copy of BG2:EE when it is released. In addition, your artwork may be featured in The Candlekeep Library! For a recap of the rules, please see this announcement. You do not need to sign up to participate, but we'd love it if you did.
Note: Participation in prior rounds is not required to participate in this one.
Theme
We've all fantasized about Edwina at least once, and probably many more times—but what happens when other joinable NPCs don the cursed Girdle of Gender Change? For this round, you may pick any number of joinable NPCs and draw an alternate portrait of the opposite sex for them. If you choose to draw more than one portrait, each one will count as its own, separate submission.
Guidelines
Submissions must retain the style of the original Baldur's Gate portraits and the aspect ratios used in BG:EE. All three sizes should be accounted for (large = 210x330, medium = 169x266, small = 54x84), but higher-resolution portraits are welcome so long so they adhere to the in-game proportions.
Although multiple entries for the same joinable NPC will be accepted, we strongly encourage contestants to offer alternate gender-swap portraits for different NPCs: This way, we may avoid ending up with several entries for popular NPCs and none for the others.
Ending Time
This round will end at 12:00 P.M. CET on February 13th, which is exactly two weeks from now (click the link to see the time and date for your time zone).

Ready? Set? Draw!

Does that count?
In such cases as Minsc and Boo, you can include two characters. However, for every other character, it is advisable to only do one character per portrait.
Not AFAIK but it could be an interesting mod...
I'm a total noob when coming to graphics and first time at DAZ Studio... please don't be too rude
Attached are all three required sizes and a side/side comparison
this time with a totally different tecnique, my lovely Paint Shop Pro... this doesn't mean I'm a pro with it, I'm still a total noob
Attached are all three required sizes and a side/side comparison
As usual, attached are all three required sizes and a side/side comparison
Now Skie looks like a transvestite and Branwen like Axel Rose. xD
Took about 8 hours. Painted in PS CS3 with wacom tablet.
Note - This is NOT a photomanipulation. This is a digital painting.
Feel free to use in BG:EE, but please, do not redistribute.

The rar file contains all three portrait sizes. The big one is just to preview it.

It reminds me of Safiya from NwN2 MotB. Excellent work.
Though I do think the she looks more like a red wizard than a monk.
Rasaad as a woman, that is.
Indeed, I just mentioned that they're similar-looking.
Though, I can imagine her as a finesse monk.
I'm just waiting to be beaten hard by some true pro
Poor Xzar's markings look rather unfortunate on a lady >.> lol
This one doesn't look exactly a woman, more in an advanced stadium of feminization
As usual a preview and all required sizes attached.
