USS Enterprise vector illustration

Everything in this scene is vector, including the gas giant, with liberal use of blurs and other layer effects. While I could have completed this work purely in Designer, I opted instead to export various layers into Photos for final processing. Colours were adjusted, some subtle depth of field and grain added and a few other touches.

This ended up being the most detailed vector graphics piece I've ever completed.

Here's the first version of this illustration. I was very happy with the Enterprise herself, but the background was kind of rushed and I never really liked the colours either.

This illustration was made using separate layers for colour, shading and line art.
