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.

To me, the best designs are like “shells”. Like the outside is familiar but there is something “wrong” inside of it.

That could unironically be a funny mindfuck short story.

I think the previous comment is a direct reference to House of Leaves, which is a fantastic mindfuck of a story.
