The background will be the last thing I do, I suspect. I'd quite like to
keep it sky blue, so that the shadowed areas look properly lit (adds
realism). I like the idea that it's floating, lost, in some infinite sky...

But there has to be something behind it. I was thinking of hazy planets in
the distance. A non-planetary atmospheric volume like Larry Niven's 'smoke
ring' (in his novel 'the Integral Trees') or Iain Banks' 'airspheres' (in
'Look to Windward').

But, as with the vegetation, I shall have to experiment.
