I know this is a very subtle change, but I think it enhances it a lot. While I was at GenCon, a very insightful art director told me that this piece was looking very flat. One of his suggestions was to just put a coolness to the background, easy enough when there are such tools as photoshop. While I was on the plane back, I realized how much atmosphere there is when looking down from above. I think this piece instantly became so much better.
