Description
I spent way too many hours on this thing, and all the while thinking :"all this is going to be in vain..."I think at somepoint I liked drawing zombies/undeads but when I colored this guy, I was not in those times. I enjoyed working on it for the most part, but just not as much as other subjects as of late.
but then thats life, sometimes you just have to do it, and while doing it you should give it your best, regardless of how much you like it, the truth is; I found that I grew to like it if I give it a more honest try.
Once a great wise man told me how he did what he did not like for decades, he said :"take interest"
I pondered that for a long time, and I think when I draw pictures like this one, I finally start to understand.
I'm horrible with writing, but I hope you get some positive encouragement out of this. XD

How the fuck do you kill it? I see no real head on it. I mean their are most likely multiple brians. A ungodly amount of muscle between you and anything internal that could be vital . Attack power that all depends on what parts are exposed. While most likely on top of all of that toxic and putrid gases and fluids inside of it so even when you did manage to harm it the damn thing would end up making the area around it a bio hazard from hell. The real damage is that is you don't burn it into nothing you could just end up with it reassemblying it self or being added into a even bigger one made by the same mad bastard who build this monstrosity ... So over all your screwed when you have to fight this aren't you?

A golem is any artificial construct made from magic; it doesn't have to be stone like in most fantasy. I guess this one is made out of corpses and demons and whatever happened to be around.

Objection your honor. A golem by definition is a human shaped creature constucted from various materials (usually clay or mud) made by someone thought to close to god. This myth origintes from judaism. My mom once told me that there were stories of evil golems made by people close to satan. These were like stone pumkin heads. (meaning they were created to kill certain people designated by the one who made the golem) This creature looks like a mass of dead demons stitched together. A golem has to be made of inorganic matter dude.

This is fantasy, buddy. Which is always going to re-interpret or completely revise old lore. It doesn't have to follow any strict definitions. A "golem", if Wen wants it to be, can be a woman spontaneously born of marshmallows. I wasn't trying to argue mythology with you, just the right of any creator to take liberties with established lore. Pretty much ALL fantasy relies on that right.

Okay look, first off DON'T call me buddy. Second I'm not saying you shouldn't take liberties with design. I just think it doesn't make sense for a creature of this category to be made from organic material. That's my opinion, don't bite my head off dude.
Super heros do not exist in real life. So then what is a hero? A hero is an ordinary person. A person who despite all opsticles, despite all temptations does the right thing. A hero does whats right even when no one else will. A hero is someone who fights for who can't fight for those themselves. A hero stands up for whats right no matter the risk, no matter the danger. That is a hero. By Kaizer913 who is me.

K, whatever you say, buddy.

Over the years, the definition of what constitutes a golem has evolved to have less strict rules. While it is still a general "norm" for golems to be made of stone or mud, they don't necessarily need to be. Diablo II has not only a clay golem, but also blood golems made of flesh and bone from the body-strewn lands, iron golems magically crafted from whichever weapon or armor you choose to enchant with magic, and fire golems composed entirely of flames. While Diablo II is a game and I understand that it isn't "fact", it is key to understand that creatures of fantasy and myth aren't fact either.
If you want a similar comparison, look at the trolls, ogres, orcs, and elves. Different sources and different settings portray them in a variety of ways. Sure, these species may have all originated with specific traits in mind, but as with all creatures of fiction, they can evolve as fast as the imagination does.

How much time and effort do you usualy put into your peices?! Upon closer inspection, it seems you have the whole creature painstakingly fleshed out from bottom to top. I approve of this quality of dedication!

This is amazingly detailed, along with all of your anima creatures. They have such amazing creativity to them!

This thing has just the right amount of surreality, INTENSE detail, and all the right qualities to make anyone short of God think twice about messing with it.
I approve.

How you create such Chaos and still make it look AWE-INSIRING is beyond me. I mean I could swear I saw a six pack/bird head down near the bottom of the picture.
