Description
I finally finished! This is for my dear dA pal . He proposed an art trade about a month ago, and asked me to draw something from any of the stories by Isaac Asimov I had read. Far, sorry this looks like the illustration of a pulp magazine, but I tried! I suppose you already know by the title which story I chose, and I hope you had guessed somehow before glancing at it.

I'm sure most people who read the story pictured Multivac differently (my brother told me several times that Multivac isn't a humanoid robot) but well, I had to make it appear alive somehow since it *did* bring all the universe to life in the end. [Also, a station hundreds of kilometers wide holding a sun wouldn't look too artistic, would it? ]
At Far's request, I initially thought of drawing a particular scene from the story, but then I realised that the only central character is Multivac, and that there are no specific scenes which mark a decisive moment per se, so I thought of designing something like the cover of the story in general.

I don't think it necessary to explain this, but just so you know, the Hourglass nebula that is below the robot's left hand is supposed to be an allegory of time, which is an important factor in he story. The coloured band that divides the earthscape from space is another symbol for time and the speed of light. And the sun represents, of course, the rebirth of everything, Multivac's gift to us.

Well, Far, I hope you're not completely discontented with it! At least I had a lot of fun in the process, so thanks for the encouragement!
