It's half past 3 AM here, so there's probably some glaringly obvious mistake here that I just can't see with my sleepy eyes... Regardless, I present to you: Sir Keldorina Firecam.
Long time lurker (since the beginning really), first time poster. I finally went and registered for the forum so I can upload my version of a female Rasaad (yes, I more or less turned the very manly man of a... man, into a... less manly woman version.) Here's my problem though; how... do I post a picture? I've been driving myself nuts trying to find a reply button, instead of this quick-reply dealy here. It has made me feel like an 80 year old granny trying to figure out this magical monstrosity of a computer. And if this is the only reply function, what's the code? [img][/img]? It doesn't show to work in the Preview anyway. I know it's a stupid question, and I feel emasculated just asking, so sorry, and thanks in advance.
It's not really a stupid question, I am very good with computers but do not frequent forums, I wish I could answer your question but I honestly have no clue.
There are several pics I would post myself if I knew how, but I don't wish to spend a lot of time figuring it out, and I imagine I will have to link to somewhere else rather then grabbing it off my pc so its really too bothersome for me.
@Belegurth- Did you really make that picture? It has been around for a while. I have seen it around for a while. You can find it on google. I did, a while back.
Phew, at last. Anywhoes, I probably picked the worst possible picture. These sort of paintings are darn tricky to manipulate. I just thought Rasaad needed some love. ^^ Not at all easy turning that hunk into a babe either.
@Zanian This is great! Since @Shin asked for Edwina, Edwina you shall have. Two of them even! XD
First, the old one - the very first face I gender-swapped over eight years ago. As most beginners, I had no idea what I was doing, and needed to support my attempts with: Mazzy's eyes and forehead Mazzy's chin Viconia's lips, which I cut in half, doubled, swapped and merged. The result may seem strange to you, but I was extremely pleased with it - to the point when I recolored the cowl and used it as portrait for one of my PCs. And strangely enough, after all those years I still find this hybrid face as attractive as I did back then, even thought I cringe at some of my other works from that 'era'. Weird, huh? Anyway, I retouched that picture to make it presentable - not the face, but hands and neck, which I butchered back then (as can still be seen on my avatar).
And next is the fresh thing - no replacement parts used... ok, ok, the neck is Nalia's, but other than that, it's just photomanipulation and airbrushing. Edwina - she is a bitter, bitter woman.
Question to the lovely host of the challenge - when does it end, exactly? Friday morning, Friday evening, midnight? (And what time zone we're talking about?)
@Syntia13 Thanks, all of yours are breathtaking to be sure. Also, I have to ask; does it HAVE to end? It's not a competition, so couldn't we just make this the official art-thread of genderbended BG chars? I know I wouldn't mind seeing it continue.
Dang, that genderbending stuff is harder than I remembered. I first tried with Edwin, wasn't happy with results. Moved to Khalid, wasn't happy with results. Moved to Branwen... you guessed it, I wasn't happy with results! I stubbornly moved onward and tried Imoen, and... hey, the result is not half bad!
I have a question - would it be considered cheating if I retouched and posted here some portraits of 'girdled' BG2 NPCs I made severals years ago?
duuude Manowen is a BABE. we're gonna need a new voice and extensive mod support on this one.
@Syntia13 Haha, very nice. The second one especially seems to preserve Edwin's demeanour and scowl very well. I would say they're both at least as good as the current Tweak Pack Edwina portrait. 8)
@Rainbow_Slayer Yeah this was from back in August, wasn't it?
So, you're the Twistedspeedo guy? I freaking love your comics, man. They're awesome.
Thank's I'll make more as soon as I get some playing done Here is an old comic I've made about Baldur's gate 1&2 (spoilers) http://twistedspeedo.com/?p=90
@Rainbow_Slayer Mwahhahahahhaa! Oh man, how I LoLed! XD Brilliant comic.
So, here is probably my last proper submission for the challenge. I have Jaheira in the works, but I doubt I'll manage to finish that before the challenge ends. Don't worry though (or do worry, if that's your preference), I'll post more pictures as I finish them. (The thread will not be closed, it just won't be sticky anymore, correct?)
Not very manly, but elves are not really supposed to be, right? He works as a cute elven boy, just like Aerie is a cute elven girl. (At least that's my story and I'm going to stick to it ). I broke my own rules and changed the clothing, because... um... he would look silly in a dress, and that's that. Armor is from Haer Dalis, and robe from Xan, both modified to fit. The hair look messy, I know. I was in a hurry to finish it today, so I didn't pay them much attention.

use [img src="insert image url here"]
except instead of these []
use these <>
Cheers, alrighty, let's see here;

Is it me or did Edwin put on some weight in between BG 1 and BG 2? His cheeks look a bit chubby to me in his BG 2 pic.
Most powerful magic item in game... by far.
It will probably end on Friday as soon as it hits midnight. So like, late Thursday night? As long as I have time to post the new one.
