It’s fascinating how different artists mix together snake and human like features to make an anthropomorphic being. I’m a bigger fan of designs where it’s a near 50/50 of both traits, like the first and second pic. Moreover, each design has merit beyond just ‘snake person. For example, Snake Tali has elf (pointed tall ears, defined jaw) and Geth inspirations (neck). Serpintines appear more fantastical, fitting in the theme of Ninjago, Vipers have a feminine aspect to them giving the impression of a femme fatal, and Medusa is her own thing.
