Maybe I'm wrong, but the head looks more like a gull than a penguin. Except from that it looks really nice user added image

Yeah i agree with the other guys, the beak is looking a little off. It seems that you have it as a seperate part for the face but looking at your ref. it seems that the beaks just flows from the head into 1 piece. I think the feet look really good though!
Keep it up Airhorn!

beaks

Thanks for the tips guys. The beak has been annoying so far, I find lots of different looks though theyre all from the same type of penguin. Here are the ones im trying to go for, after i play some DOOM3 offcourse. so this weekend maybe:p
