Thanks Loz

Fewer 'Ss' in my name and maybe an 'e' put in, for luck, you understand

(Peter Fussey). I like Martin Mercer interpretation http://www.dreamworksfansite.com/waroft ... er_one.jpg

looks cool.

I quite like mine, which is my avatar. Booyakasha..

I want to see what you did peter is ther a way I can see?<br />I am always interested....

WOOOOW!!! Peter you are good what media do you render your art in Very very nice! is stuff in a book or something?

BTW these pics I have now are triple copied so the rez really sucks compared to the originals my programs I use are Photoshop CS, Macromedia Freehand 10 a pencil a sharpie and a piece of paper oh my computer and my canon scanner.

Just finished a new (albiet quick) render.

*WARNING* Extremely big picture...like...really big...widescreen...

Everything there is made by me...except the water texture, that came with C4D. I lurve this proggy! (It also shows the Flying Machine...sort of...)

Flying Machine? Sure thing! (Keeping in the same design scheme with the Tripod.) http://www.cor_renders.danmattia.net/Renders/MFLM1.jpg

Animated Tripod...um...not really...I gave up on that a while ago...but I got back to it every now and then...

<span style='color:green'><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>So people out there what tripod do you think is the badest meanest<br />most to the book fighting machine there is? and why do you think so.<br />Images could be your own something from a book you read or an <br />illustration created by someone.</span><br />for example:</span><br /><span style='color:red'>Jeff Waynes fighting machine</span><br /><br /> :aliean:

I personaly like lots of different renditions, but i prefer it when a Martian is visable driving the machine. I like retro looking machines.<br /><br />I think that the attachment is my favourite. I love the Jeff Wayne ones but they're never depicted with tenticals, and don't have baskets.<br /><br />for really modern looking machines, then Peter Fusssy - aka Lonesome Crow does it for me.<br /><br />What's your favourite then?

There is something to be said about retro that particular tripod is erie. to say the least.<br />I like the more modern from the 70's like jeff waynes style his tripod design<br />is meen. I have had nightmares with that machine chasing me and ripping apart<br />everything in its way. <br />I have my own rendition I favor as well similar to waynes but with a couple of modifacations. Thi tripod is a drawing I did freehand with ink and then scaned it and converted it to vector finally I added it to photoshop were I did all the artsey stuff to get my illustration. check the link below.<br />but for now here is one I really like its a real working model.<br /><br />

Although if one were going for a little twist and maybe what people are expecting outside of the HG wells community. I suppose its cool..

Sorry about those three s's in your name s is near e on the keypad and the e is what i was aiming for.<br /><br />Dropkicker I like your tripod, I think its quite retro really.<br /><br /> <br />I have my own design with a fully visable Martian driving it, but I changed computers before finding this forum and can't scan in my images to show but will soon.<br /><br />I also love the Kevin O'Neal designs from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2. <br /><br />The legs in the Pendragon trailer look cool.

Post subject:
Thanks!<br />spose your right. I never really thought about it being retro untill now.<br />I have never seen the machine from league of extrodinary gentleman.<br />I will have to check that out. is there a possible link I could go too?<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your images too.. :aliean:

ok I just saw the Kevin O'neal version<br />freeky Very tripody the wings are a bit much<br />definetly retro. click here to see that tripod-<a href='http://drzeus.best.vwh.net/wotw/other/league1.jpg' target='_blank'>why war of the worlds</a><br /> :aliean: oooooohhlaaaaaaaaa<br /><br />BTW I am very interested in seeing that machine from <br />Pendragon those legs look cool I think as well

What I love most of all about the Kevin O'Neal one is the way you can see the Martian driving it in the hood. The heatray is a box as Wells described, the basket is there and look at all those tenticals.<br />I strongly recomend you buy the graphic novel. It is great, with a fantastic twist on how the Martians die of bacteria. It is very adult, not aimed at kids, as there is a buggery scene in it.<br /><br />

I like your flying machine<br /><br />So this has happened before<br />I just re-installed my OSX opsys<br />and everything came back no biggie<br />the only problem is I barrowed that disc <br />from an old friend and they are no longer around<br />"rrrrrrrrrrr" I will figure something out, I always seem to.<br />If I have too I will redraw that guy. He was easy to design.<br /> :aliean:

ooooh buggery huh?<br />Where could a fellow like me get that novel?<br />They should make it a cgi movie. what do ya think?<br />One would thank maybe with all those tentacles it might trip or something.<br />I like that the martian can be seen too I wanted to achieve that as well<br />but I didnt think it was that necesary.<br /><br />I do have an image with a martian <br />I designed do you want to see it? :aliean:

I do all my work in Paint Shop Pro (an excellent program) No my work isn't in any books, although several people on this forum have very kindly said it should be. I do like your scorpion tail fighting machine design , a great idea, wish I'd though of it and of course we want to see your Martian

Shame about that, I would like to see a bit more detail. Have you tried taking your old Mac to a computer shop and seeing if they can salvage the data from the hard drive. Or backup your work every now and then, burn it to CD, its a lesson I learned the hard way. :blush: when I get a Picture I'm working on to a certain point, before making any big changes I'll save the image as a new title, that way if I mess the work up I've always got the the previously saved image under the old title, It has saved my neck many times

Nice one Mart Ian Tripe Odd (MFM), can we see a close up (or larger image) of your flying machine and did you ever get to animate your tripod?

I like that, the texture looks as if it has been extruded, rather than built.
