Where did people get the idea for what god(s) look like?

This:

Seems highly specific and like they put a lot of thought into it.

Well if you can create things with two hands, then the creator of the universe probably needs like eight of them. Depictions of Yahweh seem quite similar to depictions of Zeus. Which I'm sure was a coincidence. Zeus isn't really weird looking, though. He was just a white bearded man who threw lightning bolts.
