If you had the little daemon superimposed on a photograph of the lunar surface with the Earth and sun in the background, wouldn't he look "out of place"? Not to say that daemons-in-space are an everyday occurence... ;-) He's a cartoon character, but the photograph is "real". Unless you did some creative RogerRabbit-style shading, it might look like a bad paste-up job. The shadow fits in perfectly with the rest of the scenery. Then again, I am confident Mr. Hosokawa's talent will surmount any difficulty. :) > on the horizon! :-) The daemon could even be in a space-suit, the > helmet having "horns" of course! :-) Since when did daemons need space suits?!? Maybe just give him a Jetson's bubble helmet with two circular cutouts for his horns. Definitely gotta keep the tennis shoes though. :)
