pudgy penguin card
1. Brief:
"The idea for this card is that the three of the 3 pudgy penguin characters are on big motorbikes, riding towards the viewer. The penguin with the blue head covering should be the one in the middle - he could be further forward than the other two (like a triangle formation). There could be a nice sunset in the distance, and they’re riding on a big long straight American highway through the deserts of Utah. The other two could be wearing aviator sunglasses too - to make them look cooler."
