Oracle is on Primfeed!
It was so generous of Luke Rowley to create a place for us. Let's make the most of it!
Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.
The figure (head, arms,legs, body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me.
Additive material includes acrylic “doll eye” beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll parts, fishing net, glass beads, rusted nails.

She's a beautiful doll, but her knee joints are really week, so I could only photograph her sitting or on a stand.
Thinking about it, if she cannot stand on her own - she could use a wheelchair.
Now she reminds me of Oracle (Barbara Gordon) after she got shot by the Joker - paralyzed, tied to a chair, but not broken - going on to do things she always did. A strong-minded and strong-wiilled woman.
Back at Oracle's Redwood Shores campus. Oracle has this great pond that reflects all the glass buildings that surrounds it. Not to mention that they have an America's Cup sailboat in this pond.
Name: Oracle
Type: MIX
Pilot: Magdalen Azalea
Special Ability: 4Sight
Description: While some racers choose to bask in the fame and spotlight that comes from winning races, Magdalen Azalea, pilot of the Oracle, is certainly not one of those. In fact, little is actually known about her past. There are some rumors floating around the MRL's fanbase that she was once involved with criminal underworld that hides in the shadow of the MRL, but nothing is certain. What is certain is that her mecha is extraordinary. The Oracle is agile, fast, and relatively light despite its size. Its real strength lies in its 4Sight ability. The Oracle can deploy four drones while racing to give its pilot an extended aerial view of the track. This allows Magdalen's cybernetic eye to calculate the best path for the Oracle to take depending on track hazards or other racers. 4Sight allows the Oracle to move at high speeds in dangerous situations, and even helps it to dodge attacks from other mechs in the Rumble Races. When the Oracle needs some extra speed, its drones can latch onto its back and give boost.
- Build Notes -
So, this one was tough to build. It is a lot bigger than I had originally planned, but I really like its silhouette. It has pretty good poseability and its torso is really sturdy. The idea for the 4sight ability came from Aldnoah.Zero's Kataphrakts, specifically the Nilokeras. This MOC is little tricky to balance, but once you find the sweet spot it's not going anywhere. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks all!
I'll miss Barbara being the wheelchair-bound computer nerd supporting the front lines from her massive computer network.

…on the way from the Oakland Airport, we passed the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex. When I saw the name, I thought of a new Dad, a huge sports fan, and a terrific, creative photographer, that would love to see his name on an arena (home of the Golden State Warriors…yeah yeah yeah…I know…lolol). I hope you have a terrific weekend, my friends.
…got to give props to that fantastic Oakland band, Tower of Power, and their awesome horn section. Here they are, playing, what else?

Oracle (who is speaking volumes to me! Been awhile since one's been so talkative) in full figure. I added some bracelets and her hair will be redone on a wig cape, not a nylon sized for someone else, and restyled. I think she needs the hair up in the back.
I also took shots of her next to others for height: 56cm to our left and 64cm to our right with handsome Tahmris. He seems sympathetic to her, which is nice.

The oracle has a strange effect on the visitors it's like the stones are trying to communicate with you.
San Francisco Fire Department following Oracle Team USA in case of emergency.
(Per Reuters) - "Oracle Team USA and Emirates Team New Zealand split two dramatic races on Sunday, winning one each in heavy winds on San Francisco Bay and sending the America's Cup sailing regatta into a tense and unexpectedly close final week of competition."

The most (architecturally) boring part of the Oracle shopping complex in Reading, which is otherwise far more interesting. Which doesn't stop it from offering great retail therapy, though (just like any other mall in the world :)
Another app test - this was Fotor, with finishing touches in PicSay Pro (my yet-to-be-beaten favourite mobile editor). Vintage colouring and vignetting were kept subtle, as I went for a 'realistic' look.
