Why bother at all, in that case? The background is just as important as the foreground and focal characters for building atmosphere and this is especially so if you are telling a story.
This would perhaps work as a sketch plan, or a first draft, but would require more time and fleshing out to be a final piece.
At least you were able to experience some of the positive effects art can have on you.
And perhaps you should - the more you draw a character or concept, the easier and more natural it becomes. Give it time and you may even be able to work on backgrounds and smaller details not just... the egg.
and hey now! i'm keeping the egg, it's a decent metaphor for the fragility of human life and Jimmy's unstable psyche, emphasized by that crack on his head
the audience'll go in with the assumption he's the weakest based on his size and appearance, only to have that assumption subverted when he keeps winning, and the cut to black puts the control in their imagination to figure out how Jimmy wins his fights
You took the time to draw it. I'm hardly going to dissuade you from a potential interest in the arts by ignoring your first forays into it. That's only good for crushing interest before it can even take root.
[ Well at least he's invested in his little egg buddy now. ]
True. City scapes, country side and beach backgrounds are all varied and interesting to draw.

and the grass was too time consuming and took away from the focus of the piece

... I never said you shouldn't, but perhaps you can expand on his plight more with some background details and events.

[Says the dumbass who actually put thought into his hideous creation. Sanji played himself]

Presumptuous.
But nurturing interest in art is important.
