Description
I've had a liking for THE WAR OF THE WORLDS for the longest time, and I decided to do my own spin on the original "octopus" design.I kinda went for a bit of a classic "50's" feel (i.e. "big brain monster with big, boogly eyes"), with a modern twist. The tripod look was intentional, incorporating some aspect of the '05 film. I also threw in a few personal touches here and there, like the nostrils and spines atop the head. The red I felt was a fitting color, as I always picture a Martian sporting read in some form, be it uniform or skin color. Plus, it kinda makes it a little more menacing.

Cool. I suppose it is on Mars, given it has no trouble standing.

"Hello from Mars! We're dying, and we need a new home! If you could gladly evict all life here and move to our rounding-up areas, we'd be happy! If you don't move or if you threaten us simply by crowding, we will have to use...deadly force. IS THAT CLEAR? NOW SCRAM, YOU FOOLS..."

This is my inner nerd here, but it sort of reminds me of a Grell from Dungeons and Dragons. Still a really cool creature. Great job!

I've been yearning to see the 50s War of the Worlds lately!

What a classic kaiju flick. Great work on this and I like your style take for the character and your respect for the original. Keep it up.

This is my favorite interpretation of the Martians I've seen so far.
