Although its lame to construct every story through a judeo-christian structure. I do appreciate when characters based off of ACTUAL designs of an angel or angelic being from scripture like pic related...
Instead of just being a white person with wings.
The wheel of power
From hot wheels the series has unlimited power
This other depiction of a angel by its actual desc
Did your other thread get deleted?
I never noticed until now that they look like something out of a Deep Dream filter.
ever think about how when people die and come back one of the most common things they'll mention is that the Beings told them to not be afraid?
And then you see these depictions of Angels
Why do you hate while people, OP?
I think you know why
>based off
Based off is still a pretty big overstatement, the scripture leaves a lot for interpretation.
But anyways there's many types of angels, not all are abstract-looking like ophanim. Cherubs look like kids and seraphim are supposedly humanoid and androgynous looking
I'd say the most based depiction though is Ryo as satan from devilman
Aren't those descriptions mostly symbolic? Angels are described using swords stabbing each other in the chest what imply a humanoid form
the Cherubim are actually originally described as having a humanoid face, a bovine face, a lion face, and an eagle face, with four conjoined wings covered in eyes. The Seraphim (the burning ones) are the highest tier, and are describes as having six, eye covered wings; two to conceal their face, two for their body, and two to fly with. Humanoid depictions are either artistic choices, less alarming disguises, or attempts to make sense of these extra-dimensional slivers/servants of God in storytelling for the sake of relation
Ophanim are described as wheels within wheels in Ezekiel and Seraphim are described as having six wings, two covering his face and legs, two with which to fly, in Isaiah
What's the obsession with the eyeball wheels? Whenever anyone talks about angels it's either big tiddy anime sluts or DUDE REAL ANGELS WERE LOVECRAFTIAN AS FUCK LMAO LOOK AT THIS WHEEL ASS NIGGA
>off of ACTUAL designs of an angel or angelic being from scripture like pic related...
You fucking dumbass.
These descriptions are meant to be vague and esoteric on purpose because humans are not supposed to be able to picture divine beings and it's wrong for us to even try.
Your first mistake was brinding divine beings into a visual medium to begin with.
>devine beings
Well its not real so we can try
People knowing barely anything about the bible's MIND was BLOWN by descriptions of angels not being like renaissance conceptions.
Wow wheels dude, so metal.
Same thing with the obsession with nephilim, book of enoch etc.
More people should read Tobit, it's funny.
this
I'm always surprised at how well versed Yas Forums is with theology and not just with Abrahamic religons. I've seen you guys go into indepth discussions about Aztec and Pre-Islamic arabian pantheons.
>read Tobit
Whats the tl/dr?
Because Angels are fucking terrifying and probably a bitch to animate.
Lore is lore
It's disconcerting how little even supposed Christians know about Abrahamic lore. King Solomon was a sorcerer who used a magic tome God gave him filled with forbidden knowledge on how to command spirits and the forces of nature but fundamentalist activists try to get Dungeons and Dragons banned from school library's. It's fucking stupid.
Yes I do but I want to see OP condemn xirself out of xir own unclean, racist, non gender conforming suckhole.
It's all a long running meme about boards being able to be on topic with anything other then the topic of the board
That's absolutely wrong though. You even mention seraphim are humanoid, they just possess 6 wings. Also seraphim's wings don't have eyes, you're thinking of elohim or living beings.
Angels had sex with humans to create nephilim, who were humanoid giants.
Plus named angels - Michael, Gabriel, are almost exclusively depicted as humans (most archangels are even depicted usually without wings!) but with superhuman features like "eyes of fire" and "skin of lightning" and extraordinary beauty
I think you just want to project your eldritch larp onto actual religious figures.
No. Those were quite litteral descriptions. Wings also mean coverings or means of flight. So there were no bird wings on those things
ChristFags treat the Bible more like a drama or a stage play
They aren't crazy enough to hire Go Nagai to animate Bibleman like Mazinger or Devilman
I do have to admit that I love to chuckle at the idea of something like this thing descending from the sky while some random person falls to the floor in panic and just repeatedly hysterically screams, while the wheel eye angel kinda glows and somehow says in a deep voice “BE NOT AFRAID!” I don’t care that it’s a meme, that whole scenario is funny.
This.
Have any of you guys even read the Bible?
There's a problem with the apocrypha describing Angels differently and in different detail. Shit, the Catholics used to have the whole choir mapped out with charts depicting a whole Angel hierarchy. I lean towards the "everything is canon until proven otherwise" philosophy and I'd like to think I would be equally as impressed with but not surprised by the spinning 5th dimensional wheels of fire angels as I would the pale man in a black robe with raven's wings "angel of death."
The named Angel's are just donut steel added later user.
I've been a no-good lazy asshole for years now and wanted to make a webcomic where angels are the good guys but the world is in such a fallen state that whenever they show up in setting they basically enter a blind rage and want to annihilate everything in the vicinity including the main cast.
By the time the heroes manage to make a tense alliance with one they still hardly ever interact because an angel is incapable of tolerating a deviation from moral perfection and would gib everyone in the party for very mundane human slipups.
Not him but only King David and King Solomon and Samson are the best characters the Bible has.
King Solomon was the OG Tenchi and Samson was a cautionary tale of Goku going waku waku. It's a very slow burn
I have read the Bible
Baal, The Moloch and the Gods of Egypt are the best characters
Oh no, not a WHITE person with wings!
It'd be so much better if it were a nigger or latinkerbell with wings instead! That would be as equally unworldly as crazy eyeball wheels, wouldn't it?
No. The Bible was made around the same time as Epic of Gilgamesh. Normies loved Gilgamesh and Endiku because it was a buddy story .
God just went from war to law because he was tired of his people sleeping with Ishtar and getting killed by her crazy relatives
Catholics aren’t Christian so there’s that.
Tobit, a devout man is being a good Jew fighting the evil powers that be.
God rewards him by letting a bird shit in his eyes, blinding him.
Meanwhile, somewhere else Asmodeus is sexually frustrating a Jewess by killing her husbands on the wedding night before they fuck.
God decides to solve these problems efficiently by sending one angel to fix both problems. Tobit's son has to make a trip and the angel comes along in disguise.
Fish magic, Tobit's son gets the girl, his father is cured, the angel fights the demon, God destroys Nineveh, all is well.
God hated Catholics. He would get into a wrestling match with the Pope for erecting Saints and covering up for pedophiles.
Marcionism is the only real Christianity; everything else is a corruption of the true message.
>King Solomon was the OG Tenchi
Who was Ryoko here?
People don't understand that God is one of love and war and order. He is just not as crazy as the Mesopotamia God's a d gives no fucks that Greek get slapped by Zeus
NGE was 95-96, its movie was 97.
We can make 3D look like 2D, even with weird artstyles.
The Whore of Babylon
King Josiah was pretty interesting, although not very in depth its because he showed how relatively easy it could be for isreal to regain its favor with God, all that was truly needed were good kings and unfortunately for them good kings were not a usual thing. This puts into perspective the rebellions of Israel and Judah against God, about how even though most fell to foley the signs were there that they needed to change, and yet they did not. And thats the story of why the Jews got punished many times
>Those were quite litteral descriptions.
From drug-induced hallucinations I presume?
As cool as the angelic cyberbrain look is, I really wish doom eternal had taken some more direct influence from more gnarly angel depictions. I mean you could easily just reskin a cacodemon with a burning wheel angel.
Eva had it right
just wait til nu-doom 3? doom: eternal 2? doom 3:not the original 3? doom forever?
i bet their gonna slap in some maykr angels and creations to fight
It's the same in the Bible. Angels scare the fuck out of people so much that they enter every scene with BE NOT AFRAID. I'm pretty sure the people that drove the Bible stories are only there cause they survived the Angels' spookfest
Samael (literal name "Poison of God") was not only covered in horrible looking eyes, but was so positively vast that it would take over 500 years to cover a distance equal to his height. Metatron varies in description so much that it's nigh-impossible to get a straight description of form regarding him from one view to another following Enoch's ascension, but he's likely fairly inhuman.
Named Archangels can be all kinds of fucky.
ok jew
>bluh bluh bluh muh Biblical angels
Shut up. Shut the fuck up. You're as annoying as those "Thor isn't blonde" pedants.
This would be a better thread if Yas Forums wasn't full of tumblrinas
Maybe they tried but there weren’t any Bibles before 1611 so no.
I certainly hope not.
We don't need another, "both angels and demons are awful" plotline.
Knowing Id and Bethesda, it'll probably be "DOOM: the Next Generation" with unlikable offspring protagonists.
They added angels in the new Doom? Does he fight them? I thought Carmack made Doomguy Catholic.
So can anybody here actually describe what angels look like? I did a Google search and it was helpful but not necessarily definitive. I was hoping for pictures mostly.
>jewshit
Nah.
Christians hide that shit from kids so they don't say things like "why can't I believe in Harry Potter"?
>jewshit thinking its better than jesusshit
Nah
