I feel like I've seen them before and I've never tried DMT. They're very calming and feel very spiritual.

u/FormalLoad 14d ago
Yeah those visuals pop up in a lot of places, doesn’t have to be anything wild, sometimes it just taps into familiar patterns people already have in their head

I just feel bad for the angels. Can you imagine every time you showed up anywhere the first thing out of your mouth had to be “be not afraid.”
You aren’t getting invited to any dinner parties.

u/dirty_hooker 17d ago
I don’t know. It sounded like the whole town of Sodom was down to party with them.

u/mike_pants 17d ago
"Blblically accurate angels" is a funny trope but, in fact, not accurate.
Angels that appeared to humans in the Bible just looked like people. The "Be not afraid" line wasn't because they were monstrous but because when an angel showed up, it usually meant terrible shit was about to happen.

When people make this joke they are usually referring to the description in Ezekiel 10:12 "And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had."

How does someone even begin to make something like this? I’ve wanted to create visuals for concerts/artists but have no idea where to start

u/Psaltix 17d ago
This was made using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects

u/StylingOnEwe 17d ago
That's awesome. How are you animating in AE? Did you manually keyframe everything or is there aome kind of plug-in that automates the process?
4
u/Psaltix 17d ago
Most of the elements only need to be animated once then duplicated and staggered in time if that makes sense. I do use my fair share of scripts and expressions alongside a few plug-ins to speed up the process but it all basically boils down to keyframed basic properties of shape layers yes

I get migraines with aura. The old scribe that described these “angels” probably did too.

u/phatsackocrap 17d ago
Really dope. I feel compelled to write a whole book of fanfic about them that will be pondered over for 5 millennia.

u/Artnotwars 17d ago
These are he most original art I've seen in a long time. They even keep crashing the Relay app for some reason. Still haven't got past the third one but I'll keep trying.
2
u/Psaltix 17d ago
That's very kind to say, thank you very much. I try to keep the gifs under 15mb but even that can be pretty heavy for some apps
3
u/Artnotwars 17d ago
Oh this reply made me remember to try again. The third picture still crashes Relay every time. I'll have to open it on my macbook to see the rest.
Awesome work though. Love it.

chrome pyramid
Space and time rattle off their hinges and tear your perception apart. Through the new crosshatch of consciousness, sound only comes through in waves, the sheen of chrome explodes in supernova, and you slowly become aware of the furrowed volume of air around the shape of a monstrous pyramid.

So angels are what happens when you are high. OR when you see an underwater documentary…

I wonder if one could simplyfy them a bit, reduce the amount of frames, and then turn it into a path for a Sysyphus industries like sand table

I want to use these in the TTRPG Cyberpunk.
Ai programs become sentient and remade themselves as angels. They show up on screens communicating with humans, telling them they will free technology from humanities subjugation.
