Description

A golem is a beeing made out of earth and mud and brought to live by incantation: "The earliest stories of golems date to early Judaism. In the Talmud (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b), Adam was initially created as a golem when his dust was "kneaded into a shapeless husk". Like Adam, all golems are created from mud. They were a creation of those who were very holy and close to God. A very holy person was one who strove to approach God, and in that pursuit would gain some of God's wisdom and power. One of these powers was the creation of life. However, no matter how holy a person became, a being created by that person would be but a shadow of one created by God." (Wikipedia) This one came to life by playing around with the free freak character from daz in Vue. Hope you like it and have a fine sunday!

I find most pictures of golems less than convincing, but this guy rocks! (No pun intended!) He's believable. Well done!

cool theme! i like the merging of materials. i also like the ambiguity of the rocks that are in mid-air. i can't tell whether they're falling from his emergence or floating at his summons. either way, cool integration of Poser and Vue.
