The first trailer for Good Omens makes the apocalypse look delightful

Ah. I did forget about Seraphim.
I do like their job though as it’s to continually fly around the Throne of God yelling “holy, holy, holy…”

But they don’t really appear much in Renaissance art and pop culture I don’t think (like the bastardized cherub - and the generic angel) so maybe that’s where my mind was.
But I’m glad you mentioned them. Good catch.

And I may be wrong about Cherubs and feathers. They have 4 heads; a humanoid, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (the souls of their feet are also weird). So, since one of their heads is that of an eagle, it’s possible to assume their wings could be feathered too (they also have 4 wings) But the wings could also likely be covered in lion or ox fur or, as I said before, cherub’s humanoid skin. If their wing covering is described I don’t know of it (and didn’t cursory-illy find it)

I just like the idea of religious art featuring Cherubs as adorable little plump babies with bat-like wings.
