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
Although its lame to construct every story through a judeo-christian structure...

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

>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.

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.

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.

Because Angels are fucking terrifying and probably a bitch to animate.
