Caesar Baby Penguin

by Mary’s Amiland, February 2016

One day I saw a beautiful photo of a baby emperor penguin cuddling up under the warm body of his father. I got inspired and wanted to design a character with that same tender look. I’m very pleased with the way he turned out, you want to cuddle him as soon as you direct your glance on him, don’t you?

I started calling my baby penguin Caesar almost immediately, and I believe I have been influenced by the name of his specie, emperor. At the end I did not change the name. I think Caesar is perfect on him, such an important name that makes him stand out in the group.
