It would benefit the final product to provide some specifics about the printing equipment. There's also a nuance of RGB and CMYK you might not be awaer of.
The exact DPI and appropriate ICC profiles are what are needed. I can assume the DPI is 300, and the print material is vinyl, but that doesn't give me the best feeling while working on something for tens of hours.
Print is done in CMYK, and monitors use RGB. There is a color shift that happens when converting RGB to CMYK. I plan to use PDF, since that is the only choice of the three entry formats that can be saved in CMYK. But. As for PNG and JPG, the final product will not reflect what the artist intended, after undergoing the color shift from RGB to CMYK.
DPI and ICC Profile of the printer. The print company should have this info.

Alright. There's still time for me, since I have to plan this before working on it in final res, but there are some other issues with waiting til the very end for the DPI. That would require me to work in vector, which would take 3-4x more time just for the purpose of setting a size at the very end. Plus if everything isn't locked into a Raster before sending, the printer is liable to get confused.
Please don't make me work in Illustrator. It's murder.
I just need the printer max DPI, so I can start working on everything in Raster. That's what will produce the best final image according to what the file is supposed to look like: Raster, CMYK, PDF... at the correct DPI and ICC profile.
I still have about a week before I will be working in final res. The ICC can happen at the very end.
I'm making you legitimate art, and at that size and DPI you will see every little mark that I make. I also want to make sure the image will have good readability from a distance as well as close up.
It's not a small matter... working in 300 DPI, 135cm x 270cm uses 16 GB of RAM in Photoshop. The working file is already 2.6 GB on disk, 500 MB flattened.
I've spent an hour and a half on it, and I plan to work on it for at least that long each night.
Anyone with Photoshop can hack together EVE stock photos, but I want you to have something special on your wall.

Why, because artists haven't had an outlet in EVE since the ship design contest?

Just poking in to wave and say 'sup'
I wanted to use this as an opportunity to explore large format printing, but I can do that on my own with something else later.
Please disregard my comments about the print specifics, I will use a simpler Photoshop -> Illustrator workflow for this.

Well, I have a bit of a failure to admit.
Print happens to be the next big undertaking in my art education, and I held myself to some strict standards over this. It seems that is going to cause me to break the submission deadline.
I'm experimenting with the tools and materials of print, and I haven't found a good system to produce a solid end result. Basically, I'm in the middle of wrestling with both the tools (Illustrator) and the materials involved here.
I could have done it in Raster with Photoshop, then live traced the whole thing in Illustrator, but I wouldn't be learning anything new that way.
It's good to hear you'll be open to later submissions. I'll have to take you up on that.
The final product I want to deliver to you is simple: a pdf of vectorized art that will present well on vinyl, under natural light. Getting there is a bit more complicated, it seems.
Because I love you and it's time to swallow my pride after making such a fuss in this thread, I'm going to share the progress I've made so far.
The original core concept
The colors refined with R+ín and Commissar Kate, who is the face of EVE to me.
Making it happen in Illustrator.
None of us are going anywhere anytime soon, so I will get back to you with this. Good luck to the entries and congratulations all around.

Since the vinyl banner thing is closed, maybe something that would make a nice desktop background is better.
I'm picking up my test vinyl banner this afternoon, it is this in 60" x 12" http://imgur.com/TaFuy90
I'm going to figure out a method for vinyl banners to offer it as part of commission work. I like to work in 300 dpi, I just need to get the hang of colors that look good in the format.

I have a support ticket open regarding payment for art based on CCP IP
It's also not exclusively EVE stuff.

Ah ok so that is your work? I've seen the uncolored version, and it's nice to connect the art to a main.

Yeah, and maybe there were no qualifying entries after applying the "no fanart" rule.

Must have been removed. It is pretty distinct language, I'm going to trust my memory on this one.
