Prompt v2 — on-model singles

Generated one-at-a-time with the tightened contract — the full 14-pose set, every one on-model, and every one alive: each pose carries its own CSS micro-motion and scene effects. Hover a card to freeze it.

AI single: Lief with a support headset, waving — **The Concierge**keeper

AI single: Lief inspecting a map with a magnifying glass — **The Detective**keeper

AI single: Lief cruising with a paw on his sash — **The Cruiser**keeper

AI single: Lief pressing the tail of his snowboard — **Tail Press**keeper

Set notes: the singles run a touch stockier than the chibi reference — consistent across all 14, so it reads as an intentional “expedition build”; pick one canon at vectorising time. Booking Confirmed’s passport carries generic PASSPORT text — swap for a TripNord travel doc in the vector pass.

Scene studies

Poses in context — great compositions, but this batch drifted into an outlined storybook style (line art, wandering goggle colours, missing sash). Kept as composition references for the illustrator and casual marketing, not as brand art.

Using Lief well

One stance per view, matched to the moment: Carve for heroes, Thinking for AI work, Victory Wiggle for confirmations, The Welcome for empty states. Every animation respects reduced-motion — Lief holds a friendly still pose instead.
