A line drawing of a man with short curly hair, wearing a heavy naval coat and gloves, with a baby emperor penguin under each arm. He looks disgruntled at this situation

A dark bird with iridescent blue and purple feathers stands on the edge of a bird feeder, looking directly towards that camera with wings spread. This pose makes it look rather intimidating and like a vampire
