Male Cosplay Final Fantasy Contest

What  
Draw your favorite Final Fantasy female character in a Final Fantasy male outfit. The female should preferably be a major character, and the male outfit it pertains to should be a major character as well.

Disguise Paine as badass Cloud from Advent Children.  Have Yuna dresssphere change into Auron.  Show Celes mugging in Locke's outfit.  Turn Selphie into a pugilist with Zell's outfit. The list goes on.  The girl does not have to be limited to a male character of her own game.

FIRST THREE ENTRIES WILL HAVE A FREE SKETCH COMMISSION.

When
Deadline: July 2nd, 2013 (12:00am PST)
Extensions requests may be granted if I am notified no less than 7 days before the deadline.

Where:  
Please submit your deviation to the folder labeled "Male Cosplay Contest" in the gallery.

----------------------

STIPULATION
Do not cut and paste the outfit.  You MUST show some feminine or UNIQUE alteration to the outfit that fits the character itself.

Examples of alterations:
Female Vincent:  fc09.deviantart.net/fs44/f/200…
Female Squall:  th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f…
Female Auron: s2.zerochan.net/Auron.full.992…

Obvious reminder, it doesn't have to be sexualized for it to be good.  I have faith that you can work around shirtless male characters (if there is one.  I guess Seymour Guado.).
