Note: I created 3D models of these ships, modeled in Wings3D, then textured, lit and rendered in Vue Creator. I create illustrations, as well as both profile and top down views, which I then use Xara Designer Pro, a vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator, then cut out the deck plans. I sometimes create 'furnishing' content that is actual 3D, sometimes I rely solely on vector, but it emulates 3D in it's style.

First I create a profile view of the ship, so I can cut out shown interior decks, so the viewer can understand the size and number of levels in a given ship. As stated this Drow Colony Dreadnought is the largest Spelljammer ship known...
