One of my favourite works, and one I am truly attached to. Made entirely in Imagine, it took me two full weeks to get this light, these shadows and, above all, this sky. The water is thanks to the unfailingly astonishing Essence textures by Steve Worley, while the human figures come from Poser. This work too was lost in the Amiga-to-PC transition — sadly through my own fault, as I overwrote it with a smaller version with my name stamped on it. Indifference was originally 1024×800 pixels; what remains is not even 500 pixels wide...

It stays very faithful to the sketch (which I drew during a Latin class in high school), though it trades the vertical development for a horizontal one, better suited to the scene. In 2000 I made a remake, because this is one of those works that, in my view, deserved a consecration.
