I would have never thought, man its going to be tough to pick between the Donut or Miley.
What method/type of shading is that? Or does a program do it?

I just made the thing for the meta-implications of it, I might make an actual ball thing later if I have the time for it. The shading was actually done pretty roughly, I applied my painting technique with pixel brushes larger than 1 pixel.
