A homunculus, latin for "Little Human", is an artificially-created life-form of humanoid shape. Since the third century, alchemists have experimented with the creation of artificial humans. Some were grown from rare herbs and roots, others formed from human fluids such as blood and semen. Some even originate from previously dead creatures, but whatever their origin, they all have one thing in common: they're all a little human.--This is a re-submission of an older picture of mine that I really liked ( [link] ), but thought was poorly rendered. Not much difference with this one besides cleaner look and crisper lines.
