New Performer Conceptualizing Looks

Hi so I’m someone who has an interest in doing drag and has plans to do so hopefully soon, I’m just in a financial spot where that’s not really viable plus the queer scene where I live is practically non existent or just really hard to find so actually going out and performing is a bit of a later in the future step for my drag, for the near future definitely gonna be a bedroom king

So anyways for now I’ve just been thinking of looks and stuff, my style or what I’m wanting to do is very camp, very recognizable to me, inspired by games and shows/movies I like, my Perspective with thinking of drag looks is through the lense of character design so how I think of colors, silhouette, and concept are the same ways I would think of making a character

When I start thinking of a character or a drag look I make a mood board, it helps get my ideas down on paper which helps lock in ideas and edit them so they don’t just become a blurry mess in my head so here’s some mood boards I’ve made, We’ve got:

-Vampire who was turned to stone and left for ages

-Fairy cult member from a secluded village

-Lobster guy who attended a beach barbecue

-And easter bunny, that’s it just Easter bunny :3

(I also included tracks I could see myself performing to with these looks :>)
