You can apply background pictures to your scenes to enhance your creations. It's not hard, but as an old teacher of mine used to say "it's in the book". The best thing you can do to get your creative juices flowing is reading the manual and learn the features. Often times, backgrounds, lighting, camera angles can add a lot to your work; but you have to learn how to use them. This forum has a wealth of info and many are generous with help. Furthermore, many will enhance their work in Photoshop or Painter Pro, etc. before they post their work and mony will credit the "post-work". Again, the manual is tough, but if you read it in front of your screen and do the things it says it shouldn't take too long to get the hang of it. Good luck...look forward to your postings!
