Cyclops, Martians and Myths: the art of Ray Harryhausen in pictures
Briefly

Ray Harryhausen's Cyclops design was proposed for an iconic battle scene in 'The 7th Voyage of Sinbad', but was ultimately dropped due to budget and timing issues.
One of the most ambitious yet unrealized projects was a follow-up to 'Clash of the Titans', which included a sketch of the hybrid creature Charybdis, showcasing Harryhausen's creative aspirations.
The extensive artwork for 'The War of the Worlds' represents a significant lost project for Harryhausen, underscoring the challenges artists face in securing funding for their visions.
Harryhausen's adaptation ideas, such as the skeletons in 'Jason and the Argonauts', highlight the tension between mythological accuracy and film rating expectations during production.
