God this is creepy. So Thumbnail 2 does seem to work the best, and I think that it seems to correspond the most with scale image number 3 or 4.
Also I love the trailing away stones tied by sinew in the first thumbnail more than the most recent.
You could also make that layout a bit more interesting by having a tendril shooting towards the viewer, a bit hard but it would be pretty awesome and provide some easy foreground.
Also, no face! super creepy!
Oh my god, this is such a creepy design! It's awesome
I like thumnail 6, but if you're having trouble with the perspective you could go with 3. It's similar but it might be easier for you. Although I also like number 4 as it make it look like a giant, almost godly creature is slowly approaching to devour you.
So the perspective might be hard, but come on! Thats a cool creepy ass image! Stick with it! Maybe try to find some shots aimed up in new York city near time square that are using a wide angle lens with some edge distortion.
And I love the choice of having it be mid day! The superposition of a clear beautiful day with such an overpowering abomination is pretty awesome.
The thumbnail with the overpass is also a pretty cool idea, but I still like the one that you labeled final WIP the most. I love coming back to this thread, so creepy cool.
Love it! Spot on eliminating the larger buildings and putting a bit of a circular lens warp on it, like a wide angle lens without compensation.
You could possibly make the tendrils up in the air glowing dark or something... I can understand the complication of dealing with that much atmosphere and light at the same time. Or perhaps thicken up the number of tendrils hanging up there so that you could see them better.
This came out very delightfully creepy and I feel like you really nailed the perspective problems in the end.
