This a low-poly model I've been working on. Currently the texture needs more love, still needs a specular map (aka "spec" map, it controllers parameters that measure how shiny or matte a surface is supposed to be) and I might add some more polys to the sphere itsef. Not sure yet.

And here's a quick drawing from a few weeks ago.

The Prince of Egypt is one of my favorite movies. :) (Although, I heard the Thai dub reccently...the background singers are kind of creepy sounding...lol.)
Further progress on the globe will be soon.
