Prometheus concept artist, Carlos Huante, has recently uploaded a large collection of Prometheus artwork to his portfolio. The gallery includes early designs for the Deacon, Engineers, storyboards and more. Below you can find a selection of his artwork which wasn’t included on the Blu-ray release from last year.

IMO the pic I posted above shows that you could have the human element of it and still make it unnervingly alien, or biologically unfeasible as you say. Like the Jockey, a thing that should not be. One of those at correct Jockey proportions would of been fantastic and would of respected the source material.
In regards to Huante's Jockey hell no, it would of been epic.
It's baffling that Ridley Scott envisioned the the engineer environments as more mechanical and the creatures as biologically feasible, when what made both so unsettling and memorable in Alien was the opposite approach. I'm still miffed that the production chickened out on the elephantine Jockey design for fear of looking silly. Of course it was always intended as a breathing apparatus and not a trunk, but the concepts we see here prove that it would have worked, and would have looked wicked.
Some degree of hate is unavoidable. If H.R. Giger severed one of his own appendages and it magically morphed into a creature design from God/Chief Engineer Himself, there would still be naysayers. At least these ideas were more ambitious than an actor in zombie makeup...and f***ing space flutes.
But are you guys sure this is what you want?
So you really wouldn't hate on it anyway even if this was the final design?

Looks like something.... way better than what we got in the film, at least.
Looks like something from Independence Day.
He should get together with Giger and Gutalin for this.

WTH happened to Ridley Scott?
well, it looks a bit odd to me when it's the front of the alien head dome ballooning out of the front and maybe I might be saying to someone to let a bit of the air out
I particularly like the translucent jellyfish/fetus spacejockey suit/helmet. It reinforces that their tech was based in the biological and it would have made more sense in the film (if not cost more $)
What's with the floating detached arms/hands?
