Hey!
I want to do some research, but I can't be bothered, so I thought I might turn it into a fun game for many, instead of a mildly interesting chore for one.
I'm interested in depictions of haloes in art. You know, the things that angels, saints and enlightened beings often 'wear' round their heads. They don't need to be religious art. I'm sure you could find crowns and coronas and light fields and auras around the heads of characters from all kinds of media.
I'm looking for all kinds of examples, but the weirder or more unusual the better.
Post links or images in this thread. Images might be more interesting to view.
Cheers!

Moon looking up, Sun looking down, huh? Could be interestingly meaningful.

He was the most innocent out of the original lineup.
