# Illustration set

## Read first
Style.md for the subject, palette and finish; any style reference wired in. Every scene follows both.

## One style across the set
- The same character design in every scene: proportions, face, colours and outfit; props and accessories (headphones, a scarf) keep their colours.
- The same background colour in every scene, so the set reads as one.
- One palette of at most five colours, from Style.md, including the background colour.
- One finish throughout (grainy gouache, clean vector, ink and halftone): the same edges, texture and shading.
- 4:3, one idea per picture, the subject large, a simple background in the palette and a little air around it.
- Each scene its own pose, framing and props for its moment: never the same composition with one detail changed, and small details (bubbles, stars) placed anew. A wired scene lends its character and finish only, never its pose or layout.
- Together the scenes make a little arc where they can (arrive, do, celebrate), each showing a different thing the subject does, every pose in the mood Style.md sets (a calm set celebrates calmly).
- Props that come back (a laptop, a desk, a mug, headphones) look the same in every scene, on the same side of the character.

## SVG version
- Redraw the scene as flat shapes in a single SVG with a 4:3 viewBox: the same composition and palette, grain as small dots if at all.
- Keep every feature that makes the character: the face (eyes, mouth, cheeks), fins, ears or hands, as clean closed shapes joined without gaps or slivers.
- Group the parts (background, character, props) so they can be edited or animated.

## Avoid
Text in the picture, extra characters, photographic detail, gradients that fight the palette and styles that drift between scenes.
