Thanks love. I'm happy to offer something different.....lol. 
I use Coreldraw X5. It's funny....I use 3 vector based programs on a regular bases and believe it or not Adobe Illustrator isn't one of them.

Quick update on my nebula Nimoy pic. I think this version is pretty close to being finished apart from some subtle little tweaks. However I am still playing with the other, plain-background version and after a rest over the weekend I think on Monday I'll switch that version back to Artrage to see what I can do there (in Photoshop my plain backgrounds either look too textured and fake or too smooth and fake.)
I suspect that the simple version is probably the better picture but I really like the nebula one purely because of the fun I had learning how to do it and that enjoyment may cloud my judgement. So I suspect I'll go with that one but I'll see how they all look next week.

I see I've been thinking things but not saying much, so here's some feedback from me.
Jessie - really like yours and it's nice to see a different style than usual here at the forum too (if I haven't said so already!)
Valence - I think the nebula background looks great and is suiting for the challenge theme. Someone mentioned earlier (before the nebula stage) that the background was very saturated and I agree. It still is, plus it's a more saturated blue and Nimoy has a blue jacket as well. I did some quick playing around with the background in ArtRage and I think that maybe changing the background colour to something warmer might work. I also played with making it somewhat lighter and less saturated. It's just a suggestion, but I think you could play a bit too
Cherry - Love your idea and of the four alternatives you posted I prefer the first (most eye catching) or perhaps the fourth, while the two middle ones seem a bit too monochromatic to me.
Looking forward to seeing the final results (and kinda hoping we'll still see a few more entries as well - it's always fun when there's a lot of participation)

These are all looking awesome. I was just lurking thinking I probably wouldn't have time to paint anything, but I got inspired by you guys and a photo of Nimoy that I liked soooo...

I know there's a few corrections that I am currently working on. Hope to post soon, like later today.
