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

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.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY @michaelmac6072

The Biggest Apple: 1 pm

During an encounter with some evildoers sent by the foot, Channel 6's rising star April O'Neil was put through an unexpected change she never saw coming as the potent Formula M concoction was unleashed in their hasty retreat. In the process, April grew up to more than 70ft or so; towering the streets of the "big apple" in her new found size. The creator of this formula: Katrina Charlotte; a new mutant from abroad, was almost cought by the foot if not for the caring hands of April.

As depicted here, our spidery inventor deeply regrets what her latest creation has brought upon, while April assures her that she shouldn't blame herself; besides as the experienced reporter she is this is far better than what previous adventures entailed, that "this is as freaky as it gets on every Friday and you just have to roll with it" she says, with a smile across her face as she tries to calm this fuzzy genius' head and ease her worries.

Sorry for the delayed gift Michael, glad you liked it <3

I keep seeing RUDE memes comparing the new Dune sandworms to buttholes or fleshlights and I will not be that mean to them but I will say they just look wrong without the "petals."

It's just not as visually cool or iconic a design at all, and if they really wanted to change it up, they could've just drawn from a different kind of nematode! Because a lot of nematodes do have the three flappy jaws:

But a lot of other nematodes just already look like someone tried too hard to make an alien worm monster look completely rad and awesome:

All you other people with giant worms in your games or comics or other fiction should also take a minute to look at some good quality 'todes
