large format
Working on images for a portfolio, and have recently decided to find out what the absolute upper limits of my equipment are. The maximum seems to be this image: 55 megabytes of vector info, about 400,000 individual vectors, taking 25 minutes just to open in the browser. I can’t even print it because it chokes Illustrator (needs more ram). Once again worth noting: there are no gradients nor pixels in this image (will in the original, at least); each tonal shift is a collection of tiny sharp-edged marks, each of which is a single solid color.
