I agree with Javery. Had I read this thread sooner, he would have been agreeing with me!

I think your background could be a giant eyeball. A play on Insomnia would be eyes wide open



bkenobi:

I like the eyeball idea, but to make it the right aspect ratio, you need a pair of them!

Ya, the font is going to change.  I'm pretty much the only one that liked the font I chose.  1001fonts.com hassome good fonts.  I'll check dafont also.  Is there a gimp/svg/photoshop specific site that hosts fonts?  Or are True Type fonts sufficent always?

I did find alot of hi-rez artwork that is night themed.  Like sunset or stary sky type images.  The issue with eyes (which I think I looked for) is that I could not find any super high rez images of eyes.  And if I did, they were often from medical web pages and not necessarily something you want to look at while eating anything.  What I really wanted was neurons but there are no hi rez images of neurons.  The benefit of nebula images is that there are alot of high rez images out there.  I could take an eye and do a ghosting effect with it though as to be ghosted against the nebula.  There are also alot of images in high rez of circuit boards, especially old arcade board for some reason.

If I use chacters in the artwork, they will be clip art.  I am thinking mario and donkey kong at the top kinda like how Goro is positioned.  But I will be making them semitransparent as to hint at a dream state.  As in, when you do fall asleep, you can only think of the games :)  That's the idea anyways.  I want them to be almost unnoticable.

I was thinking of finding a good hi rez version and doing a left/right flip to make two eyes.  What about eyes that are slitted liek a cats eyes?

Lower rez images would work ghosted with a nebula i think since they would not stand out as much.
