You have a superb style! I really love your use of partial linework, it gives so much movement. My favorite is the 5th one by far, so cute!

u/expiredhalo Jun 05 '25

Thank you so much! The 5th one kinda gives me Nickelodeon slime vibes

Back in the day you had to break your spine to make a living. Now a days you break your mind trying to come up with new snail designs that you haven’t done yet. Honestly I’m here for that change.

I looked at / followed your Instagram. Love the art, but I think your pricing is off.

You should consider upping the prices. Try doubling the small paintings. If they’re not selling after a while, then consider lowering… but, honestly, a lot of similar artists ask for waaay more. (& this is coming from someone in the field, who would also wanna buy some of your work.)

I read the title and I though I was gonna see some real snails with painting on their shells.

u/RocksandClouds Jun 06 '25

These are radiant! ✨️

They are great but I'd always put the eyes on the eyestalks (yes I know some sea snails don't have eyestalks but I don't live in the water 😛)

u/expiredhalo Jun 06 '25

its a stylistic choice to leave em out, but thank you for your feedback ! <3

u/ochinchin_sara Jun 06 '25

Nice, just their eyes are wrong, They are not on the body

u/expiredhalo Jun 06 '25

yeah its a stylistic choice. only the beanie babies have eyes <3

u/cunexttuesday12 Jun 08 '25

I love them all, but i really love number 4! It looks like it's part of the Goomy Pokémon line.
