Trantor (unfinished)

2011-04-08T19:06:00.001+04:00

Had no time to finish this for the contest. Guess I'll never would. Sometimes I face such a thing...I am attaching certain efforts to work on an image, but more and more realize that I don't like it and I don't want to continue tormenting myself further on this image, in which I can't put my soul or at least a part of myself. So let it remain in trash...
