Thanks guys.
@ Lathien: sure thing, but icons can't be animated (at least I never happened to see an animated one), but this sounds like a cool idea.
nice way to turn a boring shaded ball into something cool :)
The sea is awesome!
The land might need a little more detail, and it took me a while to figure out that the brown thing was a brush.
I like it!
Would give more of the land-painting idea if you made it animated with the earth spinning and the paintbrush moving up and down with land being made under it.
I like your style. 5/5
