Omg i can't believe you did this. IT'S LOOKS GOOD you're the best :D
i don't know if anyone has done it before but what if magolor doing a RE 4 merchant impression
i can still hear his voice…
there's definitely a megaten influence in digimon, but there also a straight up reference of persona. this artwork of lucemon (a digimon obviously referencing lucifer, that it also has similar to that 12 winged louis image) it is doing a pose that is extremely similar to the one of persona 1 Lucifer's artwork
Well damn, Persona 1 Lucifer and Devilman Satan had a baby, it seems. How uncomfortable is that thought?
i'm just going to ask, what's your opinion of Tzaphkiel's design?
It's fine! Essentially a clever reuse of the quad-wing template seen on other Heralds. (T)Zaphkiel is a Throne, so an Ophan, and thus the eye seems okay even if I still prefer anthropomorphism.
[inhales deeply] the phrase "biblically accurate angels" is a misnomer because the depictions of angels as divinely beautiful humans with feathered wings AND the depictions of them as eldritch abominations covered in eyes are both correct, they simply describe angels from different levels of the hierarchy, in this essay i will-
everyone is Square now
I feel like a lot of the biblically accurate angel crowd seem to feel like depictions of angels are too "boring" or they're not religious themselves and think angels are only depicted in the Bible/Christianity. Which is doing such a big disrespect to the gorgeous Jewish and Islamic artwork of angels from hundreds of years ago!
Oh yeah, I saw this all the time when researching this for the Fan Myths last year. Any jokey memes about it are inevitably founded in earnestness.
Even here, "boring babi halo dog" is much closer to reality (relatively) than some imagined "eldritch" nightmare which as a concept has barely been around for 100 years. 😭 At this point, it's basically a test to see who does or doesn't possess enough perspective to see through the meme.
You're right though. While I can't think of much Jewish angel art prior to the 20th century, angels in Islam are imagined quite beautifully with their often kaleidoscopic bird wings.
SUP. IM CALIBORN. I’M A CHERUB. I’M IMMUNE TO THE PLOT (NOT REALLY), AND TRANSCEND TIME. ALSO, I’M COMING AFTER YOU. YOU CAN FIGURE OUT THE REST. HAVE FUN.
