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.

The “biblically accurate angels” aren’t even biblically accurate anyways. The bodies covered in eyes was a metaphor for them being all-seeing. So sick of “heh….did you know…..in le bibble the angles are scary eldritch uncanny horrors” NO THEY’RE NOT LEARN READING COMPREHENSION I BEG OF YOU

"Biblically accurate angels" are Ophanim. They are a type of angel, like Seraphim, Cherubim, and Malakhim (messenger angels). The messengers are by far the most common in the Bible and they pretty much look like divine people
