Mars; the Driad homeworld

This is what I imagined of what Mars looked like; covered in lushful forests breathable atmosphere and even plants that act like living animals. I even tried making the trees look huge and look webbed to eachother. You could also see the large three legged alien that wonders through the forests. My tutor said I should checkl out the war of the worlds movie, which give me some good ideas. I got the idea of the tripod from war of the worlds movie and thought maybe this is what some of the martian lifeforms may have been.
