Lovely.
Work, while not horrible, is a bit mind-numbing, so I could not dredge up the energy to make another attempt to render it. I will post the third-round sketch. If this feels half-assed, I won't deny it, but I'm sorry.
About the work: I intentionally neglected to do any sort of research on what polar bear or penguin really look like, even though I have some great books in my library(Including this fantastic, but out of print book: Animal Faces by Akira Satoh. If you ever draw animals, this is a book to find). So, the bear looks more grizzly than polar. Ah, well. Here it is:
I resisted the urge to have a reference to the bear being on Prozac, making him a bi-polar bear, but I thought that would be silly. Besides, the penguin is taking Zoloft, anyway.

Love those fishy lunch boxes!
The equipment on the bear's back really finishes this great illustration! Looks like the penguin is on a mission...But maybe to the Equator? I dunno; wouldn't make much sense for a penguin to make an expedition to the South Pole, for example. It's already most of the way there.
Superb line work, man!
Wow, that's not cheesy at all, lovely drawing.
Very cool. I definitely like the fishtanks on the back and also the lines for the fur.
excelente!!!!
Muito bom mesmo!
a idéia fou ótima e a resolução do problema foi genial!
PARABÉNS
Very creative take on the topic. I like your linework.
Now that pengy knows how to chill!
Would love to see it comic colored. :)
Hey, thanks for the comment! I like your work, so I think I am going to add a link to you. Would you like to trade links?
What's not to like?? This is really good. Love the idea of the bear harnessed by the penguin. Very fairytale-ish. The fish tanks on the back are fun, along with the gauges to make sure the tanks are pressurized enough! Love this!
Really cool! you gonna color it?!
I agree with above.. This is a very cool illo.. It has attitude..!
I actually am thinking of coloring it. Right now on my table is a new pencil version of it. I'm debating whether to render it in pencil or go comic book style.
this is good and funny.
The penguin totally makes this illo. His expression and his gadgets all work so well together in conveying:
Brain reigns over brawn....heh heh double pun & rhyme word score!
Really nice illo, you should be proud, hope you only drop a little colour in because the linework is so nice.
I look forward to seeing it.

Yes, doing a story gets tough.
Especially in the after work hours. But at least being an agent for 50 artists fills me with enough inspiration to pump them out.
I'll be pushing it on "Remember" though.
Thanks,

One tough penguin. I like the fish supply. :)
