The "specie" responsible for these renditions I have found thus far, clearly have great talent and can produce immense "works of art"...which appears to be their intent.
So in order for the human brain to adjust to the reception of the design and construct, what is needed is some definitive validation of at least one or two creations. Then, after the shock wears off, the researcher can move forward in recognizing any possible "future examples".
As with most works of art, the artist normally has some "idea" what they are about to do before they put "paint to canvass" so to speak, obviously this principle is the same on Mars whereby there is a predefined objective or statement embedded in their work, whatever that may be. This then, is the "message" in the creation.
Along the North West wall of the Mesa, not only is there design, but also a possible message, and if I am correct, that subtle message can be gathered and strangely understod. But this will take some adjustment in the viewers interpretation.
What is important here as we begin, is to try and accept that the renditions found here, have a clear and precise design which is quite recognizable by the human mind (Earth human that is) as opposed to an "alien whatever".
So, we have cast of characters - and
human characters no less! However, they are cleverly stylized and almost buried in the blur and massive folds of the surface. Each have a length of over 2km and nearly as wide!
I will try and give my best description of
character number one who I have named "
King Blockhead!" for hopefully obvious reasons.
In the images below, we see a beautiful albeit strangely concocted facial rendition who is sporting a
"cockeyed mischievous grin". His left eye is squinted and is holding his stylized right hand to his mouth. Take your time to capture his expression.

3D
As I scanned the cliff side, I did notice that the 3D image above did
not return any real significant "depth of field" which we shall revisit later. This particular character also has the added detail of a pass made by the MRO where we can analyze under high magnification how this character has been produced.
We shall move on to the next character embedded in the cliff side who I have named;
"The Two Faced Old Man".
