I've come up with a workflow that seems to work for me. I spend my mornings sketching abstract shapes. I draw them the old-school way with pencil and paper. I cut out the “good” ones and keep them in a folder for inspiration. I then take a digital picture of the one I want to work with and place it into Designer. After recreating the shape I start to see what I can come up with. I've posted the original sketch and the final product. I never know where these drawings are going to go, but that's what I like… the journey, and hopefully a decent destination.

Um... this is so cool! Could pass for movie/video game concept art.

Did you add some bitmaps for textures like the lights and the planet surface?

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. All the textures on the station were created by me using custom brushes. For the lights I used a square that had random luminance. I drew large blanks of this texture and then placed them within the vector shapes. The planet was from the stock tab, I initially was using it as a placeholder as I often do, but it worked so well that I left it in.
