I tried, and I believe I messed up the assignment. I tried making the shell into a Q, but I just messed with the cartoony aspect.
I was having the same issue trying to think of a concept. I was also sketching put ideas for Q but the core became lost
To chime in..I went down the alphabet to think of an animal that would fit nicely. You tried your best Andy. Is that Gary from Spongebob btw?
