Ok, the background- the designs are derived from the kinds of hebrew biblical diagrams, like the sephirothic tree. The text back there is hebrew too- well- at least the font is.

The two girls are lit from opposite directions for a reason. The blonde is lit from above- the world she just came from. The redhead is lit from below, by the ethereal world. Or something. The redhead is also much darker, despite the seemingly ample light, the symbolize that even though the redhead is the divine entity here, this moment belongs to the new arrival, floating down.

That, and the contast effect is neat. In short, I did a lot of effects that on a technical note, are outright wrong, but they have thier reasons.
