Angel: Yes. Unless it's a Diablo ripoff.
Iron Giant: Meh. What is he throwing?
Spriggan: Yes. Creepy.
Felid: No. Also the red button looks like a genital of some sort.
Formicid: Not feeling it.
Tengu: Kickass A++++ best image
Vine Stalker: I can't tell what is going on here and this is not really how I picture vine stalkers. Sorry.
Tornado: LOL. No.
Octopode: Too sexual
Fannar: Looks like it came from an anime with really low artist budget.
Sigmund: wtf. no.
EDIT:
This is why you should never be a dev.

To that album I added two additional splash images I found at the end of my stream (Fannar with Ice Magic and Sigmund's Smile), and gave the images proper titles with artist attribution, based on the file names. You might want to update your post to refer to the new ones.

Mennas: B+ assuming it's a shushing motion
Iron Giant: B, should be more Cho Aniki
Ru Spriggan: B, kinda cheesy
Felid: A+
Formicid: B+, what a plucky little guy
Tengu: A
Vinestalker vs. Lom Lobon: A-
Tornado: B+
Octopode: A-
on the whole they make the NA images look like amateur hour imo
edit:
Fannar B-
Sigmund D
ok, so after these two I'd qualify the amateur hour bit.

the octopode one is cool and funny, the others are sort of touchingly charmingly amateurish and lame, just like most of the non-korean splash screens

Tengu > Formicid > Octopode > Spriggan >> (this is the line where I don't think they should go in) Fe > Mennas > Fannar > VS > Iron Giant >> Sigmund.
The tornado one is unranked because it just doesn't strike me as a splash screen.
e: I am totally fucking in love with the Tengu though, and would like to know if that guy has done more crawl artwork.

Tengu is so damn good. Doesn't really fit with the style of splashes we have, but it's not consistent either.
Lold at Felid though, isn't that a pokemon?

mennas: ok, this is the first time ive actually looked at the mennas tile and ive got to say inverting the colours on the templar mantle is hilarious and great
iron giant: i can't tell what's going on with the muscles, the shading, or the complete lack of a neck. somehow the hands look good
spriggan: very yes i want to cuddle it
felid: i get that the artist didn't want to draw a butt crack but the pose looks really weird without one, also the background ruins it. if you get rid of the background, the misshapen green butterfly, and the pointless jewel thingy, it's good
formicid: this has got to be the most pointless use of the templar cross i've ever seen, make up some other pattern or just have the shield be plain metal like the rest of the gear. also that white outline needs to be fixed. very good other than that
teae: by far the best and best-drawn picture here, but crawl's tengu don't have wings (they should though)
vs: this just isn't a good drawing. i encourage the author to keep practicing because that's how you start drawing good pictures, but i would not want this particular picture as a splash screen in my game
tornado: i guess this is supposed to look like it's on a crt monitor? seems like it should have scan lines if that's the case.
octopode: get rid of the 'Z's and the lowest tentacle (the octopode would have to be in an awkward pose for it to reach down there) and this is pretty good. the left moob seems like it shouldn't be leaning out so far, and i'm getting mixed signals about the orientation of the picture - the ogre surely isn't sleeping standing up, but it's not lying down either because the octopode is behind it. so it's sitting against a wall...except there can't be a wall because there's an octopode there instead. did the octopode find the ogre lying down and prop it up before stabbing it? also i completely fail to see anything sexual about this picture
fannar: again, this just isn't very well-drawn. the colour scheme is awful, fannar looks deformed, and the ice monster behind fannar looks like it's in front of him because of poor foreshortening and poor colour choice.
sigmund: i mean this ms paint stuff obviously isnt meant to be taken seriously, its not bad for what it is

Why the background is drawn like that is because the picture depicts Felid cast into abyss, who is worshipper of Xom.

the background isn't drawn. it's the chaos cloud tiles ripped from the game, scaled and rotated; they are ugly and out of place

It's like one of those optical illusions: the ice beast looks like it's both behind and in front of Fannar :)
For splash screens I would take Mennas, spriggan, tengu and octopode.

The Fo is the best one. It's so good.
Using a red cross is fine because it's a nice geometric shape(and very similar patterns are on crawl shield tiles for "no reason" as well) and shields look better with color instead of just being dull metal. Who cares if it's the templar's cross.

Actually, the Tornado one is also really, really good, and the only reason it doesn't seem like a Crawl loading screen to us is because Crawl loading screens have been static images-a simple, rotating image is prime material for "loading", no? That's the sort of icon most systems use to show loading nowadays.

I'm actually not a fan of the cartoonish splash screens, nothing kills the mood more then that shitty duvessa dowan image. Crawl is an old and gritty game and should have old and gritty art to suit it

yaktaurs are classic body horror in the vein of The Fly, death cobs are brilliantly unfathomable yet menacing killers, and have you even seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

at the very least, when mennas uses an inverted templar mantle, a non-inverted one definitely shouldn't be appearing anywhere

the jewel thingey is supposed to be an amulet, i think. you can see the lines of the strings coming out from it and around the felid's neck, they just look exactly like the contours of its body at first glance
agree with most of the rest of yr post. i do like the lom lobon pic a bit more than you do; the execution isn't great, but the concept of surprised/distressed lom getting antimagic bitten is very good

listen, crawl devs have to SOMEHOW quietly insinuate that they are members of the illuminati bent on creating the NWO through this video game. could we PLEASE just go the easy way on this one?

I mean if you're gonna say "no iconography related to real religious movements should exist in crawl", maybe the first place to throw a punch at should be the ingame god whose altar is a big fuckin cross and summons angels who have a big fuckin templar's cross right in the center of their christian iconography ass body
alternatively, it's not a big deal maybe, even ingame, and absolutely not in fanart, because to a normal person a symbol of "white with red cross" is just a "knightly" thing, and the strongest opinion wrt knight's templar you are likely to find on average is "was that the old guy in indiana jones who told the guy to choose wisely before he drank from the wrong cup and turned into a skeleton"

oh, it didn't occur to me to look at the angel tile. the mennas tile isn't cool anymore then
it's not about avoiding iconography, it's specifically because i thought mennas' tile was the only occurrence of the templar's mantle and putting a non-inverted one elsewhere would ruin the joke. but it seems that the joke was already ruined before it was made and the mennas tile was actually just lazy.

It's a large shield, I assume.
You could change the colors to match that, like Duvessa's hair was changed in one of them.

A discussion about religion where no one names the Sword of Jihad?
I don't think religious iconography is a problem, as long as it's not openly blaspheme; it actually adds a level of reading, like the K in the Discord tile. The crusader large shield can be adapted to the large shield tile colours, which are those of the Latin Empire and then of the Eastern Roman Empire.
I guess the Iron Giant is modelled after this:
