This is the same scene as my last image, but adjusted so that the tripods look less like water skimmers and more like bottom walkers. In the chapter "The Thunder Child" H.G Wells describes a battle between the torpedo ram Thunder Child and a trio of Martian war machines. The ram is ultimately unsuccessful, but does ram and destroy one of tripods. This image, inspired by one by Steve Gallagher, depicts that part of the battle, the two other tripods coming to the aid of the first. I more of less replicated Gallagher's scene but added the third tripod and some gulls. The War Machines, from DAZ, are the same ones used by Gallagher. The Thunder Child is Chris Shell's free SMS Emden WW1 German Scout Cruiser with cannon flashes from the Lewis Gun and wake from IN Wavecutter. The explosion is from 3D Explosions. The sea is Big Blue and the sky is one of Flink's sunsets and the gulls are from Flock Formations.
