I can't help but notice, he's not really much of a mutant is he? He's just sort of charred. Now I know the crew turning into mutants has never been confirmed as a plot point, but for the purpose of this discussion let's just pretend it has been.
I hope Ridley has gone with an R-rated base for the film (regardless of what rating gets cut later), because we might end up with some really scary stuff.

(Sans the excessive penises).
If he's gone with a PG-13 base for the film I've got a bad feeling the mutants will just be a bit half-arsed:

I'm counting on beardy man being in the first stages of mutation.
What do you guys think? If mutation occurs; how far will they push the envelope? (Design wise)
Carlos Huante (who was employed to carry out some of Prometheus' creature design actually creates some pretty amazing/grotesque stuff, so we can only hope!

Well the highlights of this guys work (according to IMDB) are...
The Real Ghostbusters (Top cartoon and comic, showing my age)
Men in Black I and II
War of the Worlds
The Mummy
Dreamcatcher
Signs
Blade Trinity
Hellraiser IV Bloodline
Hellboy
X-Men: Last Stand
The art that I can find by this guy seems to be about the over-emphasis and twisted forms to the human body, very reminiscent of Gustave Dore IMO

scratch that, it seems this guy has worked on a hey of a lot of films as a concept artist.
@ Frantz, that said he did some concepts for the characters from the capcom fighting game Darkstalkers

@ Engr101 - Check out some of Gustave Dores work in Paradise lost, their are some similarities

For the fans of the idea of a proto-alien appearing in Prometheus, heres one of Carlos' concept (not for Prometheus)...

Classical art is anatomical art, this guy has some real talent, but their are few examples of anything giger-esque that I can find
