I sometimes do tangents on purpose to make a 3D object become lost in a flat non-space environ, example:

The bison skull would be 3D and was popping off the red background before inserting the brown stripe behind the skull. The bottom of the stripe goes right along the bottom edge of the bison skull and also ends at the bison's horn effectively undoing any three dimensionality. The bear skull is also aligned top and bottom with the black stripe. Sometimes I like to make a beautiful thing and then destroy the illusion, just so I can see what happens, and to keep myself from getting too "precious" about my work... Conversely, I took the flat looking NW style bear face and made it appear to have depth by appearing to be dripping in front of and behind the black stripe. F'd up space fer sho'!

Speaking of going off on a TANGENT, Sorry for hijacking your thread with this stuff TSA.
