Ya and it was really helpful. Because while they are biblically accurate even they can be interpreted. Such as the eye being used to project a humanoid form to better appeal to humans scared to see it's true form. Much like the powers of Evil, the powers of Good are raw and incomprehensible.
@CIEIRMusic truth. for me, i interpret accurate angels as using their eyes as weapons, a la eye lasers and using their eyes to summon weird shit. as opposed to humanoid ones which use standard anfel powers (?) or normal weapons.
In that case you may be a little more accurate. There's a scene in Raiders of The Lost Ark, where the Ark of The Covenant is open and we witness first hand what the Wrath of God is like. There are spirits, but the main selling point was this beam of energy that can only be described as a mix between, fire and lightning, but looks like a crooked Laser Beam when it hits the Nazis. Granted, Spielberg never probably saw art depicting biblically accurate angels at the time, so needless to say if he did, those beings would be more scary.
@CIEIRMusic awesome. honestly feels terrifying. also, i dont think accurate angel art was nearly as popular in the 80s as it is now. plus i have planned an artwork with an accurate angel killing people with a beam of fire and lightning as well.
Well they kinda got a surge in popularity through two mediums. One was Anime, while I do not like that show for certain reasons, Neon Genesis first depicted biblically accurate angels. Also the movie Nope features a monster that takes a similar form to the biblically accurate angels. Jordan Peele, the man who made that movie wanted to do his own spin on legend and lore, by making his monster resemble something from Christian Mythology, interpreting it as really this thing being there in place of the angels and other celestial beings.
@CIEIRMusic i love evangelion but i havent seen the awesome parts yet. also, do you prefer to draw humanoid or accurate angels?
Depends on the mood, but if there was a way to mix both I would try that.

what inspired this?

A lot of things. But mostly, because I grew up in a somewhat religiously diverse household. While I still call myself a Wiccan, I realized I was incorporating the good messages of many religions and superstitions. There's even a section on how fictional mediums are a contributing factor.
