b) Loosely comparable details: astronaut explorer from Bonestell's painting and helmet of early astronaut from Giger's earlier version of the Hieroglyphics painting. 

Both with large dark helmet visors, breathing masks and antenna like shape sticking out of the top of the back of the helmet. 

Perhaps ear parts of the helmets as well.
