That shell design is something else! It's like fine stitch work and painted ceramics, this kind of feels like a metaphor or a poetic hue how its constructed.
I usually do the aesthetic dressing after putting down the important bits like the general shape and characters. I'm a big fan of folk art (e.g. Mexico) and that translates to some decorative sense, I suppose.
