Henrique Alvim Corrêa – War of the Worlds: Martian Tripod Over Shattered Surrey

A lone human figure lies sprawled and broken at the base of a smoldering mound of alien-scorched earth, dwarfed by the colossal latticed leg of a Martian fighting machine that dominates the mid-ground. Telegraph poles lean at broken angles, a suburban English street lies in ruin, and birds scatter in panicked flight from the war-machine's humming energy. The scene radiates catastrophic stillness — a civilization interrupted, rendered in dense cross-hatched pen-and-ink with suffocating atmospheric dread.
