Looks cool, how long did it take to make and why are they wearing suits lol is it a commentary of sorts

Thanks! This drawing took around 60 hours, over the course of about a month and a half. Honestly, no reason for the suits, I just wanted to draw people in suits. I would love to hear your interpretation of why they are in suits.

The houses look like homes in countryside or farms etc, and that's why the suits caught my attention as it does not look like people who wear suits live there, since the suit people are also eyeball people, I thought maybe they represent the rich who are gobbling up family homes and land as investment, until something beyond their comprehension comes around to pass judgement

I really like that interpretation. The original inspiration for the whole concept was H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and taking place in the countryside. I like that thought of city folk escaping the cities thinking they're safe out in the country, which unfortunately they were not.
