Luciel and Mallory PAHC refs



Some now outdated clothing refs for Luciel and Mallory. They run a... "cult".
The religion they are inspired by, Illuminism, utilizes a lot of sun and flame imagery and I tried to make that clear through the design motifs, but much less apparent is the Illuminist fixation on structure and logic. When I think of these concepts I think of geometric, rigid shapes so I tried to stick with those. As far as the colors go, I felt ones that invoke warmth paired with earthy tones was best. The Illuminist religion is a celebration of the beauty found within the natural world.
The eyes are well...they stand for multiple things. The first being very on the nose in that their god has many eyes, so eye imagery has become a Thing for them, but there's also the more metaphorical "always watching" interpretation. The 3rd and arguably most important reason is that I like it and think it looks cool. I like eye motifs. The eyes are windows to the soul as the popular saying goes!
I think if I had to redo these now, they would be much simplier. The PAHC is pretty ramshackle- they wouldn't have the material to make garments this nice.
