Tripods
Just some sketches showing the evolution of an idea for a model that may or may not eventuate. Being a fan of the whole Victorian era "war of the worlds" concept, I wondered how the tripods would look if they were a lot more biomechanical in nature. Giant organic alien tripods that were part lifeform, part war machine. Creepy. I imagined them rising up from the sea, where they'd been 'growing' for decades, so tried to give them a part-crustacean look. I got sidetracked a bit from the original purpose and started to develop it as a possible film idea for a while instead.
Still haven't got around to making the model though, but it's on my ever-growing list of things to do :-)
