Some kinda interesting textures (nothing to get excited over though):
Bottom Right Side of Base Pyramid, has a light shining on it.

Approach and Results

To do this picture, I started with drawing my vanishing lines and then make a 3 by 3 square using the base of the pyramid like structure. From there I worked on building the pyramid, then the bottom of the obelisk, and then the sides of the obelisk were easy to do.

As you can see, I think the results of the image are pretty good and pretty clean. As this picture was taken at night, the obelisk tends to blend in well with the black background used by most 3D viewers. The orangish glow of the obelisk looks really cool!
