Description
Those green flashes on Mars observed from Earth?
They were the muzzle-flashes from the vast Space Guns that the Aresians used to propel their transport cylinders towards Earth.
This is a test render of the gun and its loading crane.
Gun, crane and tripods all built in Truespace and imported into Bryce.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent work!!! :)
Hells teeth!!! that must be huge.Great concept and a cool render.
The space gun is from William Cameron Menzie's film THINGS TO COME, right? I loved the way this immense device had an anachronistic aiming tab on the end of it.
Brilliant mate, Oh and I've got a nice suprise to send over to you in the next few days ;¬)
Now THAT is one big gun! Very cool render and modeling.
Very cool! nice scene and render :)
Super modeling. I wonder, though: would that launcher load down the barrel, or from below like a breach-loader? Looks really cool like this, though.
The cylinders are loaded into the barrel using a powerful electromagnet. Got the idea from both the book and a novel called "The Space Machine", about a Victorian time traveller who uses a time/space machine to travel to Mars and gets into all sorts of scrapes before riding a cylinder back to Earth in time for the Invasion. The gun is loosely based on the one from the 30s film version of "Things to Come". For the final render I will add a facility and some means of transporting the cylinders from the armoury to the launcher. I added the forward gunsight as a nod to it ^_^ The tripods should be a bit smaller in the final render.
Very original scifi artwork :)
The tripods in the foreground give a sense of scale but I've a couple of suggestions for making the gun itself look even more massive: - lower your PoV to almost ground level; - add more detailing (maybe through displacement maps?) on parts of the model. They did this in Star Wars (inventing the term Greeble I think) to make the big ships look REALLY big! I hope this is helpful - a great image anyway!
Very nice indeed! And a lovely colour scheme.
Great composition and beautiful colors. Bravo...
