Description A concept of a suit for a Martian to survive on Earth, enclosed to protect it from Earth's microbes and legs to help it move in our greater gravity.

I love science fiction, largely because it leaves you with so much to think of, like; what kind of culture do these aliens have, how does this technology work, how would this change the world? With the novel War of the Worlds my favorite question to ask is, "What if the martians learned from their first invasion and eventually came back? How would Humanity fare? Would reverse engineering the technology give us enough of an edge to survive?" There have been some Shows and movies based on that concept but from what I've seen I'm not thrilled, the closest to something interesting was in the Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds prologue where years later NASA visited Mars to be attacked by the Martians.

Oh, wow. I actually really dig the idea of a personal environment suit like this for the Martians to use. I think this works really well. Nice work!

Thanks, it's a very fun exercise to try and imagine how the Martians would evolve and change over time, especially with how the original novel's invasion would have been mowed down by modern tech.

Well, tentacles. In the Original H.G. Wells Novel and some of the interpretations the martians are like Squids, large heads and eyes, and multiple tentacle appendages. The idea with this that the tentacles are encased in some kind of elastic material to protect them from the environment but still allowing them to interact with the environment or operate their machinery.

"As it bulged up and caught the light, it glistened like wet leather."
Yeah I'd say Martians are Slimy.

Sweet design man, really well thought out. Theres a graphic novel you might like called Scarlett Traces, its a murder mystery story set after ward of the worlds and published by Dark Horse Comics.
