CharacterFORGE 2D :: ROUND 036 :: The Oracle
Important! Please go over Plagiarism and other FAQs for these activities.

And..check out the The Challenge RULES

How to Attach Images
****************************************

Name: Real name unknown (Title: Oracle)
Race: Formerly human
Role: The Diviner of Secrets
Gender: Female/Male/Androgynous
Age: Unknown (Ancient)

Era: Far-future Earth that bears little resemblance to the modern-day planet.
World/Setting: Predictably, the human race has long since fallen from grace and been replaced by species/races that are close to our modern concepts of demons and angels.
Tools / Artifacts / Equipment / Weapons: Variable, and heavily reliant on the theme/genre you choose.

Clothing / Dress: Variable, though anything along the lines of robes/ceremonial dress is appropriate. It may not neccesarily wear clothes anymore.
Physical Characteristics
Height: Variable
Stature: Variable
Hair: Variable
Eyes: Variable

Personality: Once a human, the Oracle has ascended beyond the boundaries of mortality. It can see the past, present, and future, but always exacts a terrible toll from anyone who wants to know its secrets. It takes itself, and its job, very seriously.
Characteristics/Traits: An Ascended being, the Oracle is akin to a demigod more than anything. Thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of years of immortality have twisted it into a creature that only vaguely resembles its humanoid origins.

BACKGROUND NOTES:

We've been giving you a lot of open challenges lately, but this one gives you a little less wiggle-room. There is still a -lot- of different ways you can go with this, and there is a huge amount of artists' inspiration you can find on this topic:

H.R. Giger's Aliens painting series
Creature/Character designs of Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy II)
Square Enix's Final Fantasy summons
Salvadore Dali

Keep in mind, this is a -character- design: Parts or the whole of the design must be at least reminiscent of the character's human origins.

Sorknes · 11-24-2012, 10:24 PM

Took the one to the upper right, worked some more on it, and then started detailing. Still mirroring, gonna step away from that at a later stage. Progress so far:

I'll make 10 more to decide I guess

Xahxsis · 11-26-2012, 03:21 AM

LeaoSenzala · 11-26-2012, 04:54 AM

ChaosTheory999 · 11-26-2012, 05:42 PM
