A cherubim, as described in the Book of Ezekial, with some (obvious) artistic licence.
For *ninebreaker as a part of an art trade.

I can't believe I missed this! I like the colours, and the concept in general; I don't know why people go around making winged humans when the biblical angels were absolute monsters in appearence!

Really stupid indeed. Why would they say "for me not" or something like that if they were cute?

My fusing the eagle and human heads together.

you didnt put a face on the human so it looks fine.
it looks like the neck of the eagle.
the human head is in the back.

i think you as the artist know your intent but it doesnt read as such.

Sometimes I do know the intent of my pieces, other times, it's like trying to read tea leaves.

It's intriguing to think of an angel depicted as such!
