WOW!! This is the first time I've ever seen an illustration featuring the Tripods that I thought actually evoked what Wells wrote. I've seen the same "model" in other paintings, but they didn't have the rear basket, and I don't remember the box-like heat ray being there before either. I spoze it's a valid interpretation that some Tripods have baskets and others don't.

Yeah... I love this picture. It was posted in the Fighting Machine gallery topic very recently, and it is a beautiful piece of artwork that shows many hours of commitment. Gotta love TroC's work.  |

Absolutely cracking image. The attention to detail in the crowds is incredible. By far the best WOTW illustration that I have ever seen, thanks for the link.

As I have said in the other thread: this is how a true TWOTW movie should look like!

Well I like Jeff Waynes tripods to a certain extent but unfortunately when you see something like that you realise that the Jeff Wayne tripods are lacking that sinister, fantastic steampunk look. I can't help shouting but - why the BLOODY HELL can't some film company give us a film with imagery along the lines of that picture instead of modernised crap or naff looking puppets. |

You know, you almost took the words out of my mouth. When I saw this image last week I thought to myself "why the hell are film studios p***ing about with modern remakes, while getting up peoples noses". I mean, look at that picture, not only is it a work of art, but it's almost TRUE to what H.G envisioned.
As much as I like Jeffs/Trims machines, the design by TroC will always be the closest.

It's infuriating. You've got a guy like Troc who does more justice to Wells novel in 1 painting than all the others who've made these so called film adaptations so far. |
