Thank you very much.

I do like to adhere to the rules, specifically keeping the grid as is, a lot
of entries seem to bend this rule considerably and I guess are allowed to
(even the rules state repeatedly that the grid plane and texture is not to
be changed)
I occasionally give myself a little leeway on the sphere shape.
Marioshrooms only uses the top half of the sphere, OrangeClock and
Clockwork Orange are only roughly sphere shaped, Saturn has the proper
height, but I wanted to maintain proper proportions of the planet, so the
equator is larger, making the sphere somewhat oblate, and Gyroscope only
implies the sphere.

Hope to see what you've got soon.  Feel free to post WIP if you need ideas
or criticism.
