No one would have believed
In the last years of the 19th century...That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space...No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized..As someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water...Few people even considered the possibility of life on other planets...And yet, across the gulf of space..Minds immeasurably superior to ours...Regarded this Earth with envious eyes...
And slowly...and surely, they drew their plans against us...
Boi! It feels great to post again ^u^
This is my take on the iconic Martian Fighting Machine [known colloquially by the fandom and by characters of the book as The Tripod] from H.G. Wells' scifi epic War Of The Worlds.
Now I'm sure you're well aware of this classic tale and must be familiarized by either the book or it's plethora of adaptations outside of the pages and first person narratives--from the radio drama narrated and performed by Orson Wells, the 1950s colored feature by George Pal with its iconic manta-warships, to Steven Spielberg's 21st century take on the story with twists here and there that make it unique and by far the most well known by our contemporary standards, to the comics like Scarlet Traces and so on and so forth.
And yet--most versions with few exceptions ever depict the iconic Tripods as how H.G. Wells originally described them or envisioned as these Biomechanical "tools" of extermination who are just as mysterious as their operators.
For this take of mine I took various sources of inspiration--from the work of Makoto Kobayashi and Moebius' work in how they depict their machines to the most important one being Henrique Alvim Corrêa's take on the Tripods for the French edition of WOTWs [one that allegedly H.G.Wells considers to be his favorite]; in case you're wondering where the
👁️ big 'ol eyes 👁️
and overall shape of the Tripod comes from.
I hope you guys liked this as much as I did--I really got to "to go town" with those Alcohol-based markers my sister got [we got two now! Neutral and Warm palette sets--the latter of which I used in the coloring of this drawing] plus it's my first time utilizing Photoshop in conjunction with Ibis Paint X to hopefully get the look I wanted.

Henrique Alvim Corrêa (1876 ~ 1910) 1906 illustration for 'The War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells who approved of these incredible drawings, praising them before their publication and saying, 'Alvim Corrêa did more for my work with his brush than I with my pen'.
