Art thread for bizarre creatures/entities. The more outlandish and indescribable, the better.
Specifically requesting beings of light like pic related, but everything is welcome.

I'm still angry at how shitty that boss fight was.
>>43601625
what is it?
>>43602062
Pretty sure it's the Dragon God from Demon's Souls.
Love art like this
>APOLLONIAN WIGHT
>When experiments testing the viability of tapping into the quantum vacuum for energy were performed on the Apollo 21 Lab Station, reports devolved into strange ramblings about how their conclusions were inconceivable to human minds. Before all communication ceased, garbled messages were sent to earth from the astronauts about their experiments revealing to them the "howling face of the sun." A rescue crew was violently repulsed from the station by corpses in the astronaut's space suits. Footage of the incident show ghostly images of tormented figures hanging just behind these corpses, struggling, but seemingly unable to pull themselves apart from their decaying bodies.

Keith Thompson does some amazing work in the vein of this thread
>PRINCE WITH THE TURQUOISE HEAD
>The man, dressed as royalty, arrived by sea on a trading ship. He soon became popular among the elite and wealthy circles in the city for the outlandish tales of his homeland, and his cryptic but surely sage advice. Beguiled delight was always found at the turquoise mask he was never seen without.
>An illness took hold in the city upon the prince's arrival; one that loosened skin to grotesque proportion. The people implored the visiting noble for his wisdom.
>"Remember, I come from Mu." he said as though that answered it all. Taking it much to heart, the city's people began fervent and depraved worship of this unknown land in hopes it would cure the sickness that afflicted them and their families. Trade with other cities soured, and the country's clergy denounced the new worshipping. The lord of the land, needing some way to keep his newly hired mercenaries busy until he had more important uses for them, took it upon himself to siege the town, raze it to the ground and appease the complaints coming from his other subjects. The sick people of the city saw the soldiers at the walls and cried to the stranger for more aid.
>"Remember, I come from Mu." was all he said. Dumbfounded by such wisdom, all among them slopped to their knees, worshipping the wise prince as their city burned.
Do you guys have something like this?
Clearly otherworldy, maybe with an angelic vibe to it, radiating with power and might, but at the same time still resembling human.
>>43607195
ah, found one. might have a few more. let me check.
>>43607389
this one has wings.
>>43607389
>>43607419
Great, thanks. The first one is definitely closer to what I am looking for. The second looks like more of a demon though.
>>43607419
Thanks. I'm running a game where the main antagonists are extremely hostile angelics.
say what you want about Final Fantasy- they know how to design summons.
this one has a bit of a celestial loo, if you squint hard enough.
man, my collection really shrank since I switched laptops. I had like 30 of these.
>>43607465
>>43607510
Sweet. The players have no idea what the enemies look like at this point. They just know that they're out there somewhere.
here's a formerly angelic being.
>>43607677
Here's a real angelic being.

Saved a lot of good stuff from this thread, thanks everyone. I don't have much else to post myself though.
>>43601625
Wouldn't consider it a boss fight, more like a platforming puzzle, with a tiny bit of slashing at the end.

Keith has some of my favourite demons!
>>43610736
One from the same artist, in case you haven't seen it already.
Holy shit, this thread features both of my favourite artists!

Imagine this ringing your doorbell as you go to answer it.
Though a number of monster trainers boast one of these formidable creatures in their service, none have yet been able to recount precisely how, when, or where they first made contact with the being, and this is by far not the only mystery surrounding the Abathrael. Much of its mass produces no energy signature, passes through conventional matter at will and evades any attempt at direct analysis, but it carries with it a headless, sexless, nonliving hominid body of otherwise unremarkable composition. Destruction of this body temporarily dissipates the Abathrael, but documented specimens have subsequently remanifested with replacements from an indeterminate source.
An Abathrael is prone to invasive cognotransmissive contact with other sentient beings, picking through their memories and reacting unpredictably to its findings. It has been known to repair injuries and eradicate diseases in even those who threaten its allies, or turn its burning ocular ray upon its own master to "expunge impurities." Its booming, cryptic riddles and multilingual gibberish offers few clues to its origins or purpose, but several key words and phrases recur in its ramblings with some consistency:
"PERCEPTION LAYER DEFRAGMENTATION"
"DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM"
"REBOOT FROM CORE"
"FATAL EXCEPTION"
"FEAR NOT"
"RUN TIME ERROR"
"CRITICAL CONCEPTUAL DETERIORATION"
"DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE?"

I always like my angels on the right side of scary. Otherworldly, celestial, awe-inspiring, righteous and frightening or just very, very strange - but not outright eldritch abominations since they are divine and at the end of the day, on the side of good. I feel that's what demons are as fallen angels, visually reminiscent of the angels they were, but stripped of moderation. Angels in excess. If Seraphs are blazing celestial fires with wings to cover themselves lest their glorious forms destroy the mortal that gazeth upon them, then a fallen Seraph would have lost its wings or moved them so that now they cover barely nothing or in fact focus the searing light. Or the wings are open and there's no fire, just freezing ashes.
>>43616974
There is a reason the biblical angels would announce themselves to mortals by proclaiming FEAR NOT

I don't have anymore good pictures, so take this table of goetic traits for aasimar. I got one for tieflings too, but it is a .docx. If someone wants I can dump that too.
>tfw you already have all the images you like out of the thread
>>43616024
I would love more like this. Demons with children consoling/protecting/etc.them and whatnot.
>>43610276
PM is what happens when you swap Michael Kirkbride's writing ability out with equivalently weird artistic talent.

Along with zalheira, Zodiark has the look I like, especially when it's doing it's final attack and turns into a bird energy thing that's very presence breaks reality.
>>43628822
I like how it's true body is the tiny babby snake barely visible in your pic.
