#homonculus — Public Fediverse posts

Been excited to paint these weird little guys since I got them quite a while ago.

They're homonculii from one of the Andrew May Meridian/Black crab miniature Kickstarters. Everything he does is so charming and old school cool it's hard not to back every one, even though I know I won't get to them for a long while. The hand sculpture is phenomenal.

I just grabbed two at random because they're all so fun it's hard to pick.

They've had their bath and now are green stuffed into the slotted bases because they don't exactly fit snug.

Homonculus:
Some Alchemists aim to create an artificial being known as a Homonculus. The practice may be interpreted as a precursor to reproductive and genetic science on one hand, and the effort to embody the universal spirit on the other. The goal was to create a life within the Alchemical vessel.

The starting Prima Materia used was sometimes bodily fluid. It was widely held that tiny fully formed humans were present in sperm. In this case the creature could be grown like a plant from a seed.

Other related goals could be to make a n indestructible new body for oneself out of divine universal materials.

Or some may have wished to create a super human servant or helper. The homonculus was probably a model for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein story.

The depictions of the Homonculus found in Alchemical contexts usually show a little human figure in a flask or adjacent to other Alchemical works. The name itself comes from the Latin for “little man in the bottle".

Have fun if you’re planning to try to make a new friend this weekend!
