In Tim Burtons’ B-movie spoof Mars Attacks!, aliens invade Earth after a series of made-up cultural misunderstandings. However, what if they had waited a thousand years to make First Contact? Well, you’d probably get a decapitated Cornelius.

Japanese sculptor Akihiro Mogami unveiled his latest creation, a sculpture that blends together his two favourite films, Mars Attacks! and Planet of the Apes. According to his post, Mogami does a mix of 3D and traditional sculptures, and his work includes renditions of the Joker and Eureka!. This specific sculpture looks to have been made of clay — although he used an empty snow globe to make the helmet. While it might not be a flawless work of art (there are a few rough edges), I really admire the design, as well as the time that clearly went into all of the detailing. Now, here’s hoping he paints it too!
