The long black fur is a real pain to work with, it get everywhere and is shiny black and hard to see the edges of the fabric when you are sewing. But it looks and feels great.
Longer fur and fleece beak, looks much better. I am thinking of leaving the feet, as they are not a functional part of the interface and look somewhat clumsy.
Bigger penguin with short fur does not look so good.
