Did this back in 05 before War of the Worlds came out. One of literally hundreds of tripod pictures that I drew in anticipation of the movie. I tried staying as close to the description given in the book as I could. Not to happy with the legs, but I'll give this another go soon.

That was an awesome movie! But you took the image from the book instead?

Yeah, the tripods in the book were radically different in terms of what what the movie depicted. Then again, you consider that War of the Worlds was written at the turn of the 20th century, the thought that not even HG Wells could have seen things like Speilberg. In the book, the Tripods were very mechanical because at the time it was written, that must have been quite terrifying in its own way.
The aliens in Speilberg's version also differed dramatically from Wells' Martians. The Martians were essentially giant brains with faces and tentacles, where as Speilberg's aliens were tripedal and indeed the inspiration for my triped predators in Project Athena.

Guns are objects. They can't do a damn thing by themselves. Cats on the other hand...

Don't let my name fool you; I don't eat puppies, hurt babies or worship Satan. I'm a normal dude trying to live my life one day at a time like everyone else.
