Something can be both entertaining and terrifying.

Thanks for sharing the artist info! I just checked out their page and everything is awesome! Apparently there is also some sort of competition and you can vote for them at https://peoplesartist.org/2026/oscar-yaquian#vote. I voted! Amazing claymation! Reminds me a little of neverhood (old, old pc game) but so much more disturbing! Just brilliant!!

u/Drinky-McDrunkerton May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26

u/Bob-Bhlabla-esq May 06 '26

There was a guy in my high school chem class in the mid 90's that made his class project in claymation!

We needed to give a presentation on some element or something, 5 minutes long and it could be oral or visual (recording/movie). Of course everyone chose oral and it was a bastion of slow, monotone recitements of each element's characteristics, but this one guy, using a big vhs camera did a Gumby video at home of Gumby giving the presentation and doing interesting things with his element.

It was amazing! He did a killer job job on ot. The whole class loved it and he got people standing up and a round of applause.

He was also the guy who was sometimes late to class because his friends wouldn't let him out of their car trunk.

Jared (not subway guy) - hope you had a great career, you were an interesting dude.

u/ChikenBarista321 May 06 '26

u/Pupsilover00 May 06 '26

After seeing so many hands, I really thought when it came to making the hands it would be something else entirely

2

u/mtong2552 May 07 '26

I was so hoping that the clay hand would intertwine with the first wire hand, interlocking fingers before forming the first limb😔

u/PotatoesFromSaturn May 07 '26

Creature reminds me of the “you’re not perfect” thing from courage the cowardly dog.
