This shot was a bit of a group effort. The ship was by Ethan Scheu, the ice ball by Steve Klipowicz, and the ball cloud wisps by Mark Goldsworthy.
I created the composition and background for the shot, staged all of the elements and did the lighting.
The second shot is of the ice ball up close from the back of the Drifter ship. I re-used some parts of the original ball and wisps to create this.
