Summary
The Diffuser (GUOS65149) is an item from the space era of the Gothic Universe of Shapes series. It was created on the 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, 30th, and 31st May, 31st July, and 3rd August 2019 using Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils, Lead Pencils, and Felt Pens, an Artline 204 Faxblac 0.4 Black Pen, Microsoft Paint, Paint 3D, Paint.NET, GIMP, and Microsoft Excel 2010.

It was not created using autoshapes, being drawn and edited outside Microsoft Excel, except for some shadow effects, a glad wrap texture effect, and film grain effects. Being completed in Microsoft Excel 2010 meant that I could use tools that were absent in Microsoft Excel 2007, such as applying a glad wrap texture effect, and film grain effects.

The Diffuser is the second shape that I applied a HSV noise texture to using GIMP. This is because for the space era, I decided to look at inspiration for textures within the game Endless Sky, for the space era shapes. And I was tipped off that applying a HSV noise texture effect would give them a more Endless Sky-esque texture.

The Diffuser is the first shape to directly take inspiration from objects that I'd seen in Endless Sky. Though the object that I took inspiration from was not part of the game by default - a custom ship created by another user using Blender - it nonetheless served as valid inspiration for the colour scheme that I used when drawing the Diffuser.
