This is very nicely done! I imagine drawing a snail in a more realistic fashion is quite the tricky endeavor indeed. All... slimy. And yet smooth and curved. With funny little eye stalks. Shading looks great though

Thank you! Funny eye stalks indeed... With no visible eyeballs...
Haha, I'm discovering all insects are... I'd previously done a dragonfly for someone and let me tell you, transparent wings and 3 part bodies are a lot more difficult than you would think by looking at them.
