Leave it to you to take a prompt spewed out in a moment of loudmouthed obnoxiousness and turn it into something sweet, beautifully done, and also absolutely hilarious. *squishes you* I have seen and adored your more realistic pieces, so the fact that you can do freaking adorable cartoon penguins (in ear hats and red pants, no less) just makes me admire your skill all the more.

And you probably already know this because it made the news a few years ago, but there are documented cases of male/male penguin pairs, notably two at the Central Park Zoo who raised a chick together. So perhaps my loudmouthed obnoxious brain sometimes knows what it's doing. And I think my favorite part is the way that they've obviously tied themselves together with the scarf (since penguins don't have hands to cuff) so they could snuggle.

Absolutely darling and makes me smile every time I look at it! BRAVISSIMAAA!!!

Oh yes! The male penguin pairs. I loved this prompt and it just screamed for cuteness - even without the antlers and wings.
