There is some subtle variation on the stone texture for the bricks, but not the
sphere. I think you're right though... I'll experiment.

Never tried vines, and I'm not sure I will for this image, but mortar has some
possibilities. I wasn't sure to start with, but I've just thought of a way to
do it!

Similar to Mike's suggestion... I shall give it a go.

No, just trace() against the sphere union, and only place grass if the point's
distance from the centre is under a threshold value.

Cool. I'm definitely going for the narrow-crevice very-bushy-clump look, but
probably with lots of dead blades (straw-coloured) and some long stalks too.
These mages could come in handy. I can't keep running outside to stare at the
