Crimson COW #12 - "Biblically Accurate" Creature

[darktiste]

Some of my rambling ideas regarding this...

This one is tricky for me (even though it was my idea LOL) because there's so many different directions I feel like it could go. Lots of wings, lots of eyes, but also it's like, is it humanoid, is it animal chimera, is it geometric forms...

I know going into it that my goal is to design like a boss that could fit in a game like Elden Ring or the Witcher games, so a monster with many legs/wings/eyes, not actually an angel from the Bible. Could also be a good opportunity to actually figure out how to draw bird wings. 



Also nice work to everyone else, glad you guys are enjoying this theme.
@Zebra Love your drawing style, the little wormy zelda angel is very cute!

Welcome to the concept art dilemma.

Personally i think i have seen enough of those eye centric design.Winged angel are over use.But i think what i would suggest you to do is put wing where you would not expected them to be like in the place of leg for example if you choose a more humanoid route.

I think also making the angel facial feature alien looking would be something refreshing but certainly risky at the same time risky.So maybe instead of going completely rogue and try to take from real life reference to create that alien look taking inspiration form insect rather then only animal if you think you can pull it off.You could do a insect animal mix but that would be more risky then something that look humanoid with insect quality.
