My original thought with the city, as I drew and painted it, was 'domed city with bits sticking out of dome'. But a lot of people read it as 'nuclear explosion'. And there was even a case of the ambiguous gesture being taken as obscene. It got a lot of discussion.
That image arrived in my sketchbook with a background. Usually they don't, and I have to fake something up later. I think there's a fantasy image that came with a bg on the opposite page of the sketchbook; I'd have to check.
I draw backgrounds in my sketchbook now and then, but I never seem to turn them into full images. Place doesn't seem to interest me like person does. I've planned to build on PB but never have.
