March of the Penguins
 
The Rangers are facing elimination tonight, down three games to none in the Eastern Conference Finals, and with a deciding game tonight I think the Blueshirts have their backs against the wall, or in this case - cornered at the edge of the ice shelf.
 
Penguins are a bit of an obsession for me, and this is somewhat of a new design I’m trying, making them more “egg-shaped” than my  usual circle that I practiced when I was a kid.  Back then the beak was also a bit more pointed, but it’s good to try a new design once in a while and see if you like it.
 
I also really love the horizon here as I was again messing around with the gradient tool making a sunset and the reflection in the water.  Originally I had an outlined sun similar to my Spring Training cartoon, but reconsidered.
