A colossal Martian tripod emerging from the stormy ocean during the 1940s, three towering mechanical legs striding through massive waves. Its central glowing red eye fires a devastating laser that slices through a WWII-era battleship, splitting it apart in a fiery explosion. The battleship has steel armor, visible rivets, and vintage turrets; crew members are running across the deck. Steam and smoke rise from boiling seawater beneath the laser. The tripod’s body is covered in intricate alien markings and otherworldly technology, contrasting with the historical setting. Cinematic sci‑fi concept art, epic scale, dramatic lighting, highly detailed, realistic textures, dark clouds and mist, vintage 1940s naval realism, 4K quality. See more
