Very nice model, theres a way when rendering to make the lines of your model look smoother, and it only needs one click,

when you go to render, and the little box appears showing different preferences(color, size, etc...) theres a little check box that says "Antialiased" if you click that then render, the lines on your model will appear smoother.

the only problem with it is when antialiasing large models, the render time goes slower, but since this is a low poly model, it shouldn't go that much slower

but, Nice model, I love penguins, and keep modeling!

Great looking penguin Bramblefire.
You could also subdivide your model to give a more smooth surface.
Great work

Thanks falloffalot:) Actually, most of it is subdivided, I just didn't do it to the head as the material doesn't look quite right.(the color between the eyes gets pinched, is there a way to fix that?)

I use a UVMapper with Photoshop or BlackSmith to texture all my models depending on how complex they are.
Not to sure about the pinching, maybe if you added your colours after subdividing may help.
