Space Invader, IRL.
From the artist:
My version of one of the first video game villains, taking the 1978 Space Invaders pixel art and “filling in the blanks”. Fun fact: I modelled him partly with my feet. I broke my left wrist halfway through making him, so instead of pressing CTRL, SHIFT and ALT on the keyboard to navigate in ZBrush, I used foot pedals instead.

Video of the day: Random space invader music video.
Got a spare $10,000?
Then buy me this watch! Made by Romain Jerome, the watch comes from a limited edition of 78 of the ‘day’ version, pictured, and a further 78 ‘night’ edition watches which feature glowing invaders.
The back of the watch is made from a silver alloy which incorporates moon rocks, which “reproduces the lunar surface, of which the mineral particles interact on an infra-molecular level with the wearer of the watch”.
The invaders themselves feature steel “coalesced with fragments from the Apollo 11 capsule”.
