These birds are in misery. I don't think they sing. They screech in pain.

Pinguinus impennis
7-layer reduction relief print for Patreon members; June 2025
The Great Auk, Pinguinus impennis, was a large species of flightless alcid that resided in the Northern Atlantic region. The species was also known as the garefowl or penguin, and was the only modern member of the genus Pinguinus. However, they were unrelated to the penguins of the southern hemisphere, who were in fact named for their resemblance to the Great Auk.
Great Auks could be up to 33 inches tall and weighed about 11 pounds, making them the largest alcid to survive into the modern era. However, their wings were only 6 inches long, rendering them flightless. They were agile in water, but clumsy on land, making them well built for hunting fish and crustaceans but susceptible to land predators. They nested in crowded colonies on remote, rocky islands, where they mated for life and laid one egg per breeding attempt.
Great Auks were an important part of Native American culture, both as a food and clothing source and as a symbolic item. Early European explorers to America used them as a source of food and fishing bait, rapidly reducing numbers. The European population of Great Auks was largely eliminated by the mid-16th century due to high demand of their down to use in pillows.
Around the same time, some European nations began to acknowledge the decline of the species and placed regulations on hunting. However, this did little to actually stop the harvest of the species. The increase in rarity increased the demand for specimen from museums and collectors, which ultimately led to the species' demise. The last two Great Auks were killed in 1844 on Eldey, an island off the coast of Iceland, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens of the species.

Now, I usually dont make art for holidays but ive had this idea for a while and i thought what the hell, might as well get it out for easter
There's this island in the Baltic sea called Blå jungfrun (Blue maiden) that in folklore was told to be bald mountain, hosting witch congregations. I read somewhere that witches were told to sometimes fly in on sturgeons and i don't remember where i read that, so it might not be accurate, but i thought what the hell, sturgeons are cool so i'll paint one anyway (plus, we recently had sturgeons returned to our waters after a century of them being nationally extinct, so that's cool)
