Judging from the standardized texture mapping Notch is using for all current models (players and mobs), this is how the Ghast's texture will be mapped.
I won't ever dare guessing what the "arms/legs" will look like, if that's what they are at all.
The scary thing is, the head is as big as the player based off of the textures.
Also, we already know the Ghast is "4 blocks large". We have no idea what that means exactly, but hear me out.
If we assume that 4 blocks large means this Ghast head is 4x4x4, then this is is how it looks like within the game (I think this is the max size of slimes?):
But PLEASE, do NOT take this as authoritative in any way, we have no evidence for any of this. It's just a VERY wild guess.

I know Notch said it wasn't ghost-like, but maybe he had a different idea of "ghost-like"
Hear me out.
If the thing in the corner is the body (one block), and the head is 2 blocks, and the Ghast floats one block, that would mean he would technically be 4 blocks high.

Lol, I was just about to post the render I finished up, and like yours, I had no idea were to put the limbs.

You mean, a floating big head on a stick?
Yeah. Seems a bit silly, but that's all I can think of. Even if there's more to the ghast (like a body or something), it would still have a very large head.
ok if this is the monters "from hell" then white will stand out really well and wouldnt be hard to spot and keep away from.
now make the white see throught/invisable just leaving the outlines.
hard to see in hell now.
can someone make a mockup of that?
If this thing is what I think it is, you're not gonna want to let it out of your sight. being really visible might be the only way to make this mob "fair"
Aha!
This thing is crying right?
And if it's like 02 from Kirby like that one guy said, it would have wings on it, like an angel.
The ghast may very well be the weeping angel like monster Notch wanted to put in. That's why he has such a hard time killing it.

I'm also thinking that the head won't be all of the four blocks together.
It IS an unfinished texture, isn't it? Who's to say Notch just hasn't added the rest of the body yet.
Yeah, probably. I'm just wondering how exactly the "arm/leg" piece fits in all of this. Just speculating, really.
Pretty much, yeah.

Ooo... that's an interesting idea too... It would be like a flying angel head thing, but evil.

Just keep looking at it! Whatever you do DON'T BLINK!
One of my favorite Dr Who eps.
Would be scary as hell if ghasts worked like that.
But if they don't go through some blocks, whats to stop me from encasing the ghast in sand or dirt while looking at it to keep it from moving?
Hard to see the side/back textures though since they always look at me straight-on.

That thing creeps me out for some reason.
