This decorative collection of sculptures are made to look like different Star Wars helmets if they were worn by wild African animals.
The highly stylized collection by New York-based artist Blank William is titled 'The New Order: Black' and closely resembles the look of the helmet and armor worn by the villain 'Darth Vader' from the original film trilogy. Unlike the original armor, this collection also features golden metal highlights as well, but still closely follows the design aesthetic that was so famous from the films.
A hippo, elephant and rhino have all been given their very own curved and stylized Star Wars helmets. Williams has also previously taken on a similar project titled 'The New Order: White' that took the same animal helmet designs, but made resemble the helmets worn by Star Wars 'Stormtroopers.'
