To be completely honest, I'd pondered and sketched quite a few pages with a bunch of ideas. I was aware of the possibility and preference to create 3-dimensionally, though I somehow couldn't bring myself to feel comfortable with the idea this time around. Towards the end, I just stared at my USB drive and at the time and joked to myself, "Hehe... What if the tip of the USB wasn't a USb tip, but a--". And yeah. Then from the sketch, I considered that the nuance in the silliness could stand for something more significant. I put both the penis head and the USB together in my head, and came to the conclusion that I could represent sex escalating only digitally in the past few years. I then decided to contrast the detailed penis head on the USB (representational of people treating porn as reality) with a cartoony, almost lazily drawn penis head plopped into an ice cream cone. I want to note that the interaction from the ice cream to the USB one is insignificant, though there is hidden significance in the illegible text coming from the USB, directed to the ice cream cone. The texture is simply a standard texture I often use, though in context of the Halloween color scheme it looks reminiscent of a spider web. I was feeling spooky when coloring it. Thanks for reading. 

Despite your main critique being that your piece was an illustration of transformation and metamorphosis, it was clever and thought, Id love to see its physical form though. It reminds me of Ralph's pencil sort of.
