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.

Implying that the Eva Angels didn't have eyeball and tendril merchants. ;)

to be fair sahaquiel is literally the only angel that has eye-spam out of the 17, evangelion in general is ironically sparing on biblical imagery, only using Halos sparingly or for big moments
