I risk sounding too much like a purist, but Giger's absence from the creative process was sorely missed. Still, Huante's designs are bold and unsettling, whereas what we actually saw in Prometheus would not be out of place in any contemporary sci-fi film. The exception was the 'Hammerpede', which was wonderful.
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.

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?
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.
