🧿| ORACLE (CYvn MC)

hehe finally drew my version of Oracle's Superhero Outfit from Criminally Yours vn.

Small lore details , wip thoughts , alt wip ss , some imagines , ideas dump ,and theories if you squint under the cut:

💥👓💥👓💥👓💥👓💥👓💥👓💥👓💥👓

Starting with the design piece that I love : Eye shaped witch hat. I absolutely wanted that to be a part of this. Also making the oracle face mask black was due to this , I wanted to imitate the pupil of an eye. At the right angle this looks like a purple eye looking at you. Now imagine the city posters being a purple eye looming over you and the small time villains constantly checking over their shoulder to see if any purple eye is in sight (the posters end up jumpscaring them lol). RAD if I must say so myself.

I wanted the design to be very cryptid. sort of scary. But with the added pop of vibrant colours i didn't achieve that. Though the oracle mask only being glowing eye holes sort of feels disconnected from normal humans. Big reason why the mask is 'faceless' and 'expressionless'. Now imagine oracle looking down at you and all you see (in the right lighting and right angel) is a big purple eye (hat) with glowing pupils looking at you.... hehehe (these ideas are all going into my to be drawn list lolol)

Predicting the future is sort of considered a witchy practice so I think it's a neat detail.

I am kind of conflicted with how vibrant the cape colors turned out , i sort of like them for the reason I added them but I feel like they are a bit too bright . Maybe the lore reason would be to make oracle costume more distinct and hence more marketable. i do think that kids love oracle the hero and I want you to imagine civilian Mc going about their day and seeing random kids in a kid sized gradient cloaks. They would be proud of their work as a hero I think. I do managed to keep the cloak's color values stable so I do think that it would look better in night light. maybe it will look duller and darker in night scene... i need to test that out.... (tosses another idea into my to be drawn list)

NOW for the reason i made blue+red the color gradient is because...... *drum roll*..... i dreamt about it!! I had a dream where my oracle was wearing a hero outfit with a COMPLETE blue + red gradient as their color scheme. I HAD to include that it was destined in the fates.... i got an oracle about my oracle ... this is meant to be...

originally the cape wasn't even planned but after that dream I had a prophecy to fulfill LOLL

The colors coincidentally match with the two leads of CY!! I told you it's meant to be!! Blue being Chronos' color and red being associated with a Thesis so far. AND the mix of blue and red is purple.... Oracle's color.... coincidence? i think not. I color picked the gradient transition where it's purple to get 'Oracle's' purple and I love this concept sm.

I like to think that for lore reasons , since nik took the role of chronos because of oracle and wes is said to be a fan of oracle (basically they both greatly admire oracle) so they choosed their villain/hero costume colors based on oracle's. they match!!!!!

I wanted the reference sheet layout look like it was taken out of an artbook or a magazine . i kinda like the way it turned out . Adore the font effect used for 'Oracle', Its giving comic book style and i love it.

Originally I wanted the colour scheme to be more teal/peacock green. but in the end i scrapped the idea because the colors looked too busy. here's a wip ss:

I have no idea why I made the brown leather bag thingy around the thigh. It is too small to contain anything now that I look at it. At the time of making i thought "hmmm maybe it contains a button to call for backup" but I don't like that idea anymore. I am thinking of turning it into a 'hidden' insulin monitor.

How many eye motifs can you spot on the hero outfit? let's see! (take a look at the reference and guess before reading the following portion)

1) The eye witch hat hehe i love that one.

2) The brooch holding the cape around the neck of oracle .

3) The center of the peacock feather looks like an eye (more on this later).

4) The knee supports were to be shaped like an eye (golden sclera with purple iris) but i didn't commit to the bit rip. Its more visible on the left knee i think.

5) The cape is supposed to be eye shaped at some point but i think it wraps around so the shape isn't obvious. I'll let this one slide/silly

6) The glowing eyes on the mask.... no i am not cheating now LOLL /silly

Referencing to two already mentioned points (both including the word peacock) , I initially planned to make the color scheme more peacock color palette and use a lot of peacock motifs because 1) peacock is my favourite bird. 2) I wanted it to be kind of symbolic to how i associate Oracle with peacock and nik betraying Oracle's trust (hence acting like a snake) and how snake and peacock are natural enemies.... does anyone see the vision.... 3) one day i randomly remembered that OH! the center of the peacock feather is an eye!! eye symbols = oracle!! brain blast!!... But i didn't end up following with it because 1) the color palette looked too busy. 3) the repeated peacock feather looked busy AND very out of aesthetic with CY's world. imo it would have worked in a more fantasy setting. Still pondering on point 2) though... maybe I will make it more thematic rather than literal.

At one point I wanted to give this a futuristic color palette but that involved a lot of blues . maybe I'll try to design chronos' villain outfit in futuristic aesthetic for fun.

At one point I went into a rabbit hole of more fantasy esque / magical hero outfit references (I do have concept arts drawn from those references LOL , If someone asks about it I'll gladly share haha) but then i concluded CY is a bit more modern and non magical for that /pos. Though I think you can still see some influence seeping in in this design haha. It is magical in my heart/silly

If you asked Oracle what it is like being under the hero costume, they'll answer "Hot asf" and no they don't mean it in a sexy way XD. The costume gets WARM and not in a good way.

Do i think Oracle reused Mama oracle's old hero outfit? yes. But i think to better fit the decade's aesthetic the outfit is redesigned every so often. So it isn't the PROPER mama oracle outfit but there are influences. The witchy eye hat is definitely one of the classics. In my head that hat is now Oracle's brand and can't be replaced.

If you read this far then I love you <33 I hope my oracle always looks over you like a guardian angel. Thank you for reading this. I would love to read your thoughts and maybe your thoughts on *YOUR* oracle designs!!

Got to play in my first pathfinder2e game with some friends and made this! My strix oracle of ash!! I wanted to go for an uncanny harpy monster vibe (inspired a bit by avatars Wan Shi Tong and dragon dogmas 2 sphinx) and landed on this bearded vulture design! I love my unsettling big bird 🫶
