Reveries of Giants with serpentine feet etc

leading from

concept / exploration doodles

I was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses which tells stories of Greek Mythology and that fight with the gods and briefly describes the giants that fought with the Gods, and these beings had snake feet and also images of the mythological figure Abraxas , an ancient Egyptian god connected with early gnosticism had serpentine legs and he was related to entity Baphomet. Finding out about these inspired me as well.

Space Jockey's with tentacular legs, or multi knee joints

I was being inspired to think about the possibility of the space jockey having flexible lower limbs that might be serpentine or tenticular to some degree, although I wanted to look at the idea of adding firm joints to the tentacles. The inspiration came from stories about the ancient giants that the gods fought with in Greek Mythology and the image of a mythological character called Abraxas.
