Phoenix Nebula and Peregrine Binary Star System

[Gamerprinter]

So in my 3D graphics thread in the General Discussion forum, I've been working on a series of 3D illustrations of custom ship designs for Spelljammer, as I'm creating and publishing a collection of Spelljammer ships (18 in all), and I'm starting to do all their deck plans now. However, I also needed to introduce 4 new races, and include a Wild Space System, which is the local star system. I'm using my Planet Builder star system generation rules I published in December to create the stat block. But I needed a map...

Once a trinary star system consisting of Phoenix, a giant blue star (type b), Peregrine, an orange dwarf (type k) and Hawk, a red dwarf (type m) star. 12,000 years ago, Phoenix went nova, pushed the Hawk system into the Peregrine system, and became a dust cloud nebula and stellar nursury.

First I created the nebula illustration. I created a rough shaped bird in flight model, and imported to Vue Creator through the MetaClouds processor, which converts the OBJ 3D model into 20,000 metaclouds. I added some layers of color and starfields into the nebula to give more color.

Then using a 3D/2D composited image to create a nebula scape background (which makes it awfully busy), and placed the binary star system done in vector using Xara Designer Pro. I included halo shadows around the labels, planets and orbits so you can see them against the busy background.

Included the Sparrowhawk shuttle spelljammer vessel with deck plans - the top deck and the lower deck.

Now I have to make 17 more deck plans - with only one completed. I'm shooting for an early October release as a DM's Guild exclusive product. Enjoy!
