Yeah, I just didn’t think to look at the tags. To me it looked like a pegasus painter surrounded by rings of wings. I thought it was just the artist being weird.
As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

Ophanim, a type of angel that appeared in the bible that has become memed as of late because of how scary and bizarre it is compared to the popular conception of angels. As someone who is a Christian, I was actually shown this in Sunday school as a kid and used to these and other more “odder” angels, though I don’t know how normative this is for the more mainstream denominations considering I am of a smaller very conservative group compared to the mainstream evangelicals, mainline and catholics.
“…And his voice through all the garden is a thunder sent to bring
Black Azrael and Ariel and Ammon on the wing.
Giants and the Genii,
Multiplex of wing and eye,
Whose strong obedience broke the sky
When Solomon was king.
They rush in red and purple from the red clouds of the morn,
From temples where the yellow gods shut up their eyes in scorn;
They rise in green robes roaring from the green hells of the sea
Where fallen skies and evil hues and eyeless creatures be…”
Took me a second to understand this without looking at the tags. I actually briefly thought it was Zipp and that was some type of converter belt with wings and it just confused me.
Cammy is weird a lot, so that’s a natural assumption.

If you read the descriptions in the Bible, angels are actually terrifying eldritch abominations from another dimension.
