Description

Here's a MUCH better looking picture of that cherub and its throne.  After posting the blurry, pixilated one I decided to ink it digitally and eventually plan to color it as well.  This picture is much better than before, and looks best at full screen!

The angels are a fascinating bunch.  There are nine orders, and the Cherubim are the second highest on that list.  The angel that guards the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword was a cherub, and many believe that Lucifer himself was once among their ranks (though just as many believe him to have been one of the Powers, a much lower rank)  The Angels are so far beyond humanity that to see them with the naked eye may strike you blind.  Angels can take more human forms, and can such be seen safely, but their true divine shape is beyond mortal comprehension.  Be thankful that this is just a cherub.  To see a Seraphim, the highest order of angel and the brightest lights in heaven, save God himself, would incinerate you where you stand!  

This is partly inspired by how much I love Paradiso, the finale of Dante's Divine Comedy.
