@Jacek:

It's going to get too confusing if we allow people to submit multiple entries (if we allow 2, why not 3? or 4?). Only one final submission, please!

We'll look through the WIP threads...

It's not indicated in any significant way in the concept, so it's up to you. Keep it subtle, and make sure it looks realistic. It's possible that some internal lighting on the clouds will help the...
