The War of the Worlds
Character Design (WIP)
"No one would have believed
In the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched
From the timeless worlds of space
No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies creatures
That swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us."

"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, but still they come!"
Are a million to one, but still they come!"

" ...the summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here... "

"...there must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even some things worth dying for!
And if one man can stand tall
There must be hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man..."

This is an ongoing passion project that I will be working on over the summer, evetually creating a full cast of characters and then some. I hope you have enjoyed my process so far!
