That penguin looks very much like the lonely little cartoon one of yesteryear
to me, that's on the cutesy side to me.
POV-Ray animal mascot huh...?
Maybe a platypus.  Yeah, that's it.  Definitely a platypus.

Btw, I'm sure that's been suggested before.  Maybe back when the custom-compile
thing got going full-steam with MegaPov?

You thinking of Hoboken Penguin from the Bugs Bunny shorts?  That's where I drew
inspiration for this one - minus the top hat.

Povey Platypus - that has a nice ring to it. :)

You want POV represented by a species in which the males are equipped 
with poisonous spines?  I think there's some deep rooted fear of POV 
going on here :)

Bye for now,

Penguin Computing ( http://www.penguincomputing.com/  ) might object POV use
of their mascot ...

I'm quite fond of Margus Ramst's furry creature in "Mimicry."

My penguin is NOT tux.  If I wanted him to be I would have modeled him that way.

But again I was just joking about the mascot thing...

If the POV-Team is willing, Rusty can be the mascot.

Regards,
