I ended up rotating a series of copied lines between .9 and 1.15 degrees for half a hemisphere and then copying and flipping them.

Whew!

wow, i can see how that would be tricky. I actually did the frame first and then the projection lines. how did it turn out for you?

Not perfect, but not horrible:

That's pretty sweet. I really like the way the border criss-crosses in the middle.

Thanks, that part was a sudden bit of inspiration.

Added the fire element in the upper right corner of the globe. Im pretty happy with how it turned out, though it puts my air element to shame and i will need to redo it. I also added a wave pattern to the ocean and made the projection lines less prominent.

Long way to go still.
