The first two prototypes looked like what traditional rocket engine looks like.

For example:

The RS-25 engine that equipped the space shuttle and now the SLS launcher

The Vulcain 2.1 that is on the Ariane 6

SpaceX put a lot of work on refining the engine, they also already produced more than 600 engines ! It's a crazy amount !
