Judah Low is one of the most fascinating characters from China Mieville's new book, 'Iron Council'. He's a Somaturge: a wizard/scientist in the art of golem creation. The early chapters of the book have him riding an enormous clay-golem, saddled on it's back. I'm not too pleased with little Judah up there, but the golem came out just as I envisioned it. Expect to see more of Judah Low later.

Heeheeheehee! Couldn't help but chuckle when I saw his rider. Maybe it's just the way he's sitting in the saddle, or just his somewhat blank expression.
"What? of COURSE I ride upon huge clay golems before; haven't you?"

The way you drew Judah reminds me of the Hellboy artist. Whose name escapes me at the moment (I'm pretty sure there was an "m" in it. Or was that the writer?) I already told you you're awesome, right?
