Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

shell and body need work. snails bodies go into the shell, not the shell just rests on the body. other than that.... it's a snail :/

I suggest making a change to the opening of the shell. It looks too rigid like it would cut into the snail. And Zyk0tiK is right, you need to make it look like the shell is not just resting on top of the snail.

Looks like what it is supposed to look like though.

...and that is how I saved the world.
