Goldito illustrations
43 pieces in four groups, each concept with a variant or two, all drawn by one generator so they follow the same rules. v2 fixes the walk (no more tree with a swirl) and the search handle.

Coats follow the Tamagotchi presets (white, golden, orange, tuxedo) plus brown, black, grey and calico, and two dog ear shapes. The app picks the closest one from breed and coat.

Where it comes from
| Source | The prototype's set (redesign/art.svg, Oct 6), drawn as placeholders for the Expressive look. The Figma Expressive screens use the same pieces (Snap, Diary timeline, Home stats, pet tiles). |
| Style family | Outlined flat stickers: thick even outline, flat brand fills, one contact shadow. The family friendly consumer apps use for spot art; it fits the gold coin logo and the pixel pets because all three are bold, flat and simple. |
| Palette | DESIGN.md brand colours (ink, mint, leaf, green) plus the warm accents from the Expressive colour blocks. |
| Honest status | Placeholder quality, but consistent. Final art could replace any piece later if it keeps the id and the rules. |
Is it sustainable?
| Use the illustrations | Don't use them | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a piece | About 15 minutes per piece with the rules above (v2 added 31 in one pass). Drawn by one generator (illustrations/build.py), exported to Art.tsx, plus the plugin for Figma. | Nothing to add. |
| How many we need | 43 now (with variants); every emoji in the app has a match. | 0 |
| Consistency risk | Low while the rules are followed; drifts if pieces get drawn freehand. | None, but the screens lean on photos and type alone. |
| Older users | Pictures help people find the right tool at a glance (bowl = treat, heart = mood). | Fine if labels are clear; less to recognise, more to read. |
| Brand | Warm, matches Figma and the coin logo. | Calmer, closer to a utility app. |
