here's a (tenative) new design for OMEN!Oscar! (Click for better quality)
Details and funny bonus picture of canon Oscar under the cut!
tbh, i haven't been super happy with his design for a while now, mostly because I felt like it didn't fit the character. With all the OMEN designs, I'm trying to strike a balance between a cool new design, but also something the character in the show would wear, and Oscar's design did NOT line up. I kept trying really hard to make the red and yellow color pallete work, but A, he looked like ronald mcdonald, and B, it didn't really make sense in terms of his character. he's literally never had any association with red before in the show, and in the canon of OMEN, red is the color he wore when he was under the control of Salem, so I'd imagine that he probably wouldn't want to call back to that.
I changed his color from red to orange and kept the browns, because his color scheme pre-Ozpin were autumn shades. Considering his entire character arc is trying to find his own sense of identity, it just felt right. I also got rid of the stupid brown sash and goggles, which I have NO IDEA why I kept for so long, they never looked good and there was no in-universe explanation for why the hell Oscar would even have goggles if he never wears them anyways.
Another thing I kinda noticed was that every member of team OMEN has prominent white accents EXCEPT for Oscar. I tried to justify it to myself by saying his white accent was his hair, but he looked really out of place with the rest of the group. As such, I gave him white pants. I also thinned the scar lines on his face a bit to look more actual scars, and also darkened them because scars are not that light on darker skin. Along with the scars, I wanted him to have kind of a crossed lines/zig-zag motif, so I gave him a ton of crooked belts. (also, Oscar in canon wears so many belts, I kinda had to pay homage to it)
and because I really wanted this to look like an Oscar design, I also drew his canon look in the design with a swapped color pallete for comparison.
and it worked out pretty well!
(and yes, before anyone asks, this design was HEAVILY inspired by the survey corps uniform from AOT.)
