It was. I also did the initial render of the main background, but through the 2D artists iterating on it all that remains is the pillar and the fire pit--not the fire itself, that was Azk0. The original background was a little busy with all the spindly trees; the cloudy sky is much nicer. As for the scream, I think it's the complete lack of inertia between excitement and monotone pain. Like the transition is instant, there's no pause at all. I'm glad you enjoyed, it's my greatest contribution to this.
