Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Biblically accurate hand turkey
I hear people say "biblically accurate" all the time, but I always wondered where in the Bible does it actually dictate, accurately, what the hell some of these demonic-looking angels look like?
So there's a few different types of angels described in the old testament. This forum post cites some of the descriptions. The Ophanim description from Ezekiel is the stranger one. Here's a link to the Amplified translation that I like to use to get a better idea of the source.
The pop culture idea that a dead human's soul becomes an angel is a much later creation that is nowhere in the bible. 1. Angels are their own kind of being, humans don't become angels. 2. The old testament describes the appearance of several different types or species of angel, the description of which sound like someone writing down an acid trip. One is described as "wheels within wheels covered in eyes."
