I guess I will leave it to others to leave their opinions, but I still
think this version of Penny looks too "cutesy" and clearly too SVG'd
for the drawn look we're going for.  However, I have to say that you
captured the jump effect quite well, and it does look remarkably
better than the earlier version you showed me.

As we've discussed in the meeting, I already produced a version of
Penny, which I will be making a sprite set of shortly:

(I've also been doing some experimenting with various poses... you can
see them here:)

While these are in no way the final product, I think that I am moving
toward a state where I'll feel comfortable drawing the actual sprites
soon.

If you do wish to work on the Penny sprites, your efforts could
probably be useful, but if they are done in SVG, they will have to be
a prototype, and not a final form.  Additionally, there are certain
characteristics of the version I drew (derived from one grumbel had
created for supertuxkart) which, at a group consensus, we agreed
should stay in place.  Try to keep the style of beak and body form
intact.  Maybe we can talk about this more on IRC later.
