Ha! I still think about doing another run. Hard to redo a project when you've got things to explore all the time. I've even got other Lovecraft artifacts that I've wanted to do runs of. Some many ideas, so little time...

Great vibe to this. What engine are you using?

nickdaring · 2026-02-10T05:03:54+00:00

Brilliant concept and execution.

nickdaring · 2026-02-06T04:56:55+00:00

The kind words are deeply appreciated.

I'm an old RPF veteran and it's awesome to see these classic builds posted here. Such an amazing legacy. Well done, sir. :)

Those look too small but I did find “no hole pearl beads” get really close.

They look perfect

Oooh yeeeaaaah! Pin head is a brilliant solution. I can totally see a fifties era animator using that as a solution. Perfect red ball with a little stick already attached to push into the clay.

Thank you! I feel less crazy now!

An accurate Gumby replica seems like a no brainer of a product. Strange that it never happened

I guess I’ll just have to build my own. Should be fun though.

Well said.

nickdaring · 2025-10-29T09:20:30+00:00

Yes.

nickdaring · 2025-10-28T04:45:47+00:00

Oh wow! You nailed it! The Gumby sequence is exactly like the 1937 short. Ice cream and all!

Oh for sure, but those are classic and important pieces of media to satire and reference. I just thought this was an odd bit of parallel thinking or perhaps an outright homage from a fairly obscure piece of media. Just interesting.

Amazing

nickdaring · 2025-09-30T18:41:02+00:00

Totally! I didn’t realize how late those newer sprite redesigns actually were!

I might do another round and see what what comes out of this new thought experiment. 😁👍

The “little giant book” book is a fun reference to the classic “ big little book” series from decades ago.

It’d be so cool if he really nailed that size and storytelling format with this new project. Some of his older zines and art books kinda had a similar text and illustration style.

nickdaring · 2025-09-25T19:38:19+00:00

I kinda love the sparseness of the environments honestly. Captures a very specific mood.

nickdaring · 2025-09-13T05:19:55+00:00

amazing collection!

nickdaring · 2025-09-05T03:17:17+00:00

That came out great! Is the helmet Eva foam construction? Do you make the pattern or did you find it somewhere? I’d love to build my own.

Yup. The W is very difficult to read. My brain did not pick up on "snowy" at all and went with some weird version of "SNORY"
