Project Summary We need a professional illustrator to recreate our Scout fox companion as a clean 2D animation rig asset pack for a children's mobile app. The target character style is the provided reference image: reference/[login to view URL] (to be shared), this character has to be reused for reference. The current generated rig assets are included only as a technical reference for the required file names and separated body parts: current-rig-assets/ (to be shared) Important: the current generated rig assets are not the desired final style. They are too detailed, too painterly, and do not match the small cute Japanese/kawaii fox in the reference. The final work must match the reference image much more closely. Visual Direction The final companion should feel like a small cute Japanese/kawaii fox: compact chibi proportions warm golden-orange fur cream muzzle, belly, inner ears, paw pads, and tail tip thick rounded dark-brown outline simple soft gradients, not realistic fur friendly children's mobile game look rounded shapes, minimal detail, high cuteness expressive face with closed happy eyes as the default mood Please avoid: realistic fur rendering overly painterly texture tall/proportional animal anatomy thin or inconsistent outlines separate parts that look like different characters hard crop lines where parts connect Required Deliverables Please create transparent PNG files with exactly these filenames: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Please also provide the editable source file, preferably layered PSD, Procreate, or AI. Rig Part Requirements Each PNG must contain only one isolated part on a transparent background. All parts must look like they come from the exact same character and same illustration pass. Use this side convention: left means the fox part visible on the viewer's left side. right means the fox part visible on the viewer's right side. Base Parts [login to view URL] Torso only. Include orange body and cream oval belly. Do not include head, ears, arms, legs, feet, tail, eyes, mouth, or nose. Top should have a clean connection area for a separate head. [login to view URL] Head only. Include ears, face shape, inner ears, muzzle/cheeks, and nose. Do not include eyes or mouth, because those are animated separately. Lower chin/muzzle must be fully rounded, not flat-cropped. [login to view URL] Tail only. Match the curled fluffy tail from the reference. Include orange body of tail and cream tail tip. Root should be clean for attachment behind the body. [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] Raised arms only, matching the joyful pose from the reference. Include the paw pads at the top. The shoulder end should be clean for attachment to the body. Do not include any body/head pixels. [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] Small chibi feet/legs only. Match the compact foot style from the reference. Include cream toe highlights/pads where visible. Eye Expressions All eye assets should be centered on a consistent transparent canvas so they align in the rig. [login to view URL]: default closed happy curved eyes, like the reference. [login to view URL]: stronger closed smiling arc eyes. [login to view URL]: small open oval kawaii eyes. [login to view URL]: gentle sad downward-curved eyes. [login to view URL]: small round surprised eyes. [login to view URL]: short closed eyelid lines. [login to view URL]: sleepy half-closed eyes. [login to view URL]: attentive open eyes. Mouth Expressions All mouth assets should be centered on a consistent transparent canvas so they align in the rig. [login to view URL]: small neutral smile. [login to view URL]: simple cute smile. [login to view URL]: open happy mouth with tongue, matching the reference. [login to view URL]: bigger cheerful smile. [login to view URL]: small gentle frown. [login to view URL]: small round "o" mouth. [login to view URL]: tiny sleepy relaxed mouth. Technical Requirements Format: PNG with transparent background. Recommended size: around 1024px on the longest side for main body parts; expressions can be smaller but should be high resolution. Keep generous transparent padding around each part. No background, no shadow, no text, no watermark. Keep edges clean and antialiased. Keep all parts front-facing. Keep outline thickness consistent across every part. Keep all expression assets aligned around the same eye/mouth center. Acceptance Criteria We will consider the work successful when: The assembled character looks like the provided Scout reference image. The character still feels compact, round, cute, and Japanese/kawaii. The separated body parts do not look obviously mismatched. The head/body/arms/legs/tail can be layered without visible crop problems. Eyes and mouth variants can be swapped without jumping around. Transparent edges are clean with no colored background fringe.

Hello, The current assets are too painterly and mismatched to your kawaii Scout reference; we will convert them into a compact chibi rig that matches the provided fox exactly. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of problem for mobile character rigs and toy-like mascots. Technical plan: We will vector-redraw the character with warm golden-orange fills, cream accents, and a thick rounded dark-brown outline; keep soft, simple gradients and flat shading (no realistic fur). We will produce isolated, antialiased PNGs for every required filename, centered and padded for consistent rig alignment, plus a layered PSD/AI source. We will ensure side-convention, clean attachment edges, uniform outline thickness, and expression alignment so swapping eyes/mouths won’t jump. We can start with the reference and current assets to recreate body_base, head_base, limbs, tail, all eye and mouth variants at ~1024px main size, delivered with source files and export-ready PNGs. Best regards, Zeeshan
