It kinda looks like a helmet of a space warrior.
If you really want to make it look more like an orb, I also suggest what sigelang said.
 
Look's good and neat...

Suggestion .. Adding lightning effects or glow is very effective :D
Thank you. Yes I will try that x)

That's because I need to redefine the cracks color scheme. I'd rather put a hand there:p

Thanks for commenting guys.
Edit: Just in case Paliouras drops by, I have put a plate of yummy delicious cookies:p

Also, I hope Heinboy will return to make for skins/icons. And if it's an Orb of Storm, maybe put more lightning in it and maybe clouds :)
umm, highly unlikely. Thanks for the suggestions though. I might make a hand out of those cracks if inspiration hits me.
you can always improve
Indeed.

Uhm yeah. Right now it's kinda hard to tell whether they are cracks or fingers.
Redoing them into more finger like could be a good idea. A hand holding an orb seems more logic, in a sense, than cracks in the orb.

I agree with my liege, it is indeed awesome, yet I must also express an opinion: The balls are too big, the lightning too soft and the length too uniform.
