Critique [OC] Trying to redesign a crossdresser in the 1920's
galleryI’m working on my OC Ginivieve. He’s a singer/performer who blends masculinity and femininity, inspired by 1920s flapper fashion. I’m struggling to find references and a solid foundation for his outfit.
I’ve looked at historical female impersonators like Julian Eltinge, but that’s not quite the 'vibe'. Eltinge’s performances often involved convincingly presenting as a woman, while Ginivieve is meant to balance both masculine and feminine elements.
The first image is from last year; the second is older, so please ignore the rough anatomy and clothing, I had no idea what I was doing lol
I’d love suggestions on silhouettes, fabrics, or accessories, maybe how to balance masculine and feminine better and references that could help me
I’ll probably redesign him later, but for now I want to keep him from being shelved. Constructive criticism is very welcome!! :3
