Polar Bear Mascot Variation Sheet

Goal: Create a character design exploration sheet showing exactly 16 variations of a cute white polar bear mascot, all generated from text only.

Canvas: Square white canvas, arranged as a clean 4 by 4 grid with faint pale-gray cell boundaries and generous margins. Each cell contains one full-body or upper-body bear on a white background, centered like a sticker or character concept thumbnail.

Subject details: The character is a simple upright polar bear mascot with a stout rounded body, short legs, small rounded ears, dangling arms, wide surprised circular eyes, and a large oval snout. Use {argument name="fur color" default="warm off-white polar bear fur"}, thick uneven black hand-drawn outlines, small sparse beige fur marks, and a naive children’s-book doodle style. Most bears have a tan or peach muzzle with a black oval nose; some have pink cheek circles and pink inner ears. The bear should feel quirky, charming, slightly awkward, and original rather than polished.

Layout and count: Include exactly 16 discrete bear drawings, one per grid cell. The visible variations should be:
1. Full-body bear with pink inner ears, huge round eyes, tall peach muzzle, black nose and small mouth line.
2. Full-body bear with tiny round ears, blush cheeks, tan muzzle, open black oval mouth; add a small overlay menu across the lower torso reading exactly three stacked lines: “Vary Subtle”, “Vary Strong”, “Animate”.
3. Full-body bear with very large sideways salmon-pink muzzle pointing left and small dangling arms.
4. Full-body bear with pink inner ears and long vertical tan muzzle with open black center.
5. Shorter full-body bear with rounded belly, small side tail, tan muzzle and gray-black mouth patch.
6. Tall narrow bear with blush cheeks, long tan muzzle, dark gray nose at lower left, many vertical fur ticks.
7. Compact bear with round blush cheeks, stubby legs, beige side-shaded muzzle and black nose pointing right.
8. Round-headed bear with pink inner ears, tan muzzle and black open smiling mouth.
9. Plain full-body bear with minimal fur marks, small ears, oversized eyes, pale muzzle and large black nose pointing left.
10. Full-body bear with pink cheeks, circular muzzle, large black nose, broad straight torso and little tail.
11. Slim bear with droopy arms, blush cheeks, small horizontal oval muzzle, curled ears.
12. Wider pear-shaped bear with small eyes, small muzzle and black nose pointing right.
13. Cropped upper-body bear rising from bottom edge, pink inner ears, tall tan muzzle, black nose and small mouth.
14. Cropped upper-body bear with pink cheeks, triangular tan muzzle and black nose.
15. Cropped upper-body bear with one large visible ear, vertical fur ticks, tan muzzle and black nose offset left.
16. Cropped upper-body bear with curled ears, pink cheeks, tan muzzle and black nose offset right.

Visual style: Loose vector-like ink illustration, thick wobbly black contour lines, flat off-white fills, subtle beige shading, minimal texture, whimsical mascot concept art. The bears should vary in outline and face proportions while clearly belonging to the same character family. Use {argument name="character mood" default="cute, odd, wide-eyed, and gentle"}.

Constraints: Keep the background plain white, avoid realistic rendering, avoid shadows except extremely faint cell separation, no watermark, no extra text besides the three overlay labels in cell 2. Maintain the 4 by 4 grid and exactly 16 bear variants.
