My first thought with the word cold was “ice”. And as I was thinking how I’d do something icy, I started thinking about penguins. When I started looking up penguins, I found various cute wool penguins on various sites like Etsy. I decided to create a little scene for my wooly penguins to sit in with crocheted trees and cardboard backdrops. It’s both cold and cozy :).

Updated render correcting cardboard texture in BG, darkened backdrop to better frame the penguins and other elements, and improved the yarn trees by making them look even more worn - as if they’ve been used for years.
