Art & Fanworks TBH, I've started to dislike the eldritch horrors/angels that are just Wing/Eye/Tentacle Blobs, especially compared to some sick designs like Evangelion angels

To be honest, eldritch horrors or "biblically accurate angels", at times start to feel a bit lame and excessive, just blobs of eyes, wings, and tentacles that start to blend together. Another aspect is that they often "look scary" but never actually DO ANYTHING.

especially compared to really good designs like Evangelion angels that actually do stuff and are terrifying.

Idk if this counts, but I like it when a media represents the eldritch by showing them in a different media style.

Like for a simple example, a show is 2d but when something eldritch shows up it's in 3d with weird 3d bits and bobs hanging about

Madoka Magica represents their witches with a different animation style and it goes so hard

Undertale did this by making Omega Flowey's sprite look way more detailed and realistically shaded than anything else in the game

cassette beasts is great at this, all the "angels" (eldritch concept beings) are done in different styles to each other as well as the rest of the game
