The pics may be too big. I didn't have time to resize the pictures but you get the idea. These pictures are soooo similar (maybe except for the last one.)

Yes - so is the size of your text. Sorry, but your post comes across as you dumping a bunch of oversize pictures in a new thread and then waiting for an interesting discussion to break out with little effort on your part.

Why not spend a bit of care and attention in how you format your post and possibly explain what you think is similar between the pictures?

Below you see a relief depicting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa) Medusa or her severed head. This widespread type of ornament is known as a gorgonium (as she was a Gorgon) and meant to dispel evil spirits.

I think that SHODAN, as she was depicted in SS2, was modeled after Medusa. Of course other (game) characters are as well since it's a prevalent image in western culture.
