By take on the fall of London in H.G Wells' 'War of the Worlds'. In it H.G Wells mentions the Midland Railway running services out of Luton taking refugees fleeing the Martians northward and away from London. Here I've depicted the Midland Railway's London terminus St Pancras and the last northbound service storming out London as the Martians engulf the capital. A personal piece.

    Being a huge fan of the "War Of The Worlds" franchise I have to say your interpretation is spot on and as a viewer I'm getting a sense of panic from this piece.

    Great work.

      Cheers! I'm also a huge fan and so it means a great deal to hear I've been true to the material with this piece from a fellow fan.
