To me, Alvim's designs for the Tripods are pretty much the best so far.
He's been true to the book in having them look like boilers on stilts. He's got the shield-like upper section. He's got the dangling tentacles. And it looks like he's got the non-pivot on the knees.
Where's he's strayed is to give them a "face". don't mind that though - its no more than the liberties taken by all the other artists, and it just adds to the eerieness of the design.
How i love these evocative, moody, scary scenes. Must try and track down an edition of the book they're in (but being a 1906 French version, i'm not holding my breath).
