I'm part of a group that set up all the scenes that people think are pareidolia. It's pretty easy adding the occasional funny looking potato chip to a bag for someone to conveniently find, and carving a rock here and there isn't too hard either, but cloud shaping gets tricky. I don't even want to say what we go through to put little statues where Mars landers can image them.

No. We find that it blends into more backgrounds better by painting it a nice taupe.
