I think that's the point of the design, that you don't see the ship until you look closer and harder? I like this design a lot, but i think the ship should stay the same size but the storm cloud be much BIGGER.
I Love it! I just started reading Vergil's Aeneid in my latin class, and this looks exactly like what I imagined when Aeneas's ship got blown around in a divinely-ordained storm.
