🔒 Color & Image Lock
FROZEN PALETTE — character colors and image must stay the same in every generation. Never recolor, retint, shift, or reinterpret Bubba. AI outputs must match these exact hex codes and the reference sheet pixel-for-pixel.
Master Character Sheet
The single source of truth for every Bubba creation
Signature Features
These MUST appear in every Bubba — no exceptions
Streamlined athletic blue body
Slim, fit, agile proportions — friendly and light, never bloated or round.
Square, friendly head shape
Broad, slightly squared cartoon head with a prominent white jaw/muzzle — never pointed or narrow. Matches the mascot costume exactly.
Signature triangular dorsal fin
Slightly rounded tip, blue with a subtle wave-shaped edge. Same proportions in EVERY image — never resized or reshaped.
Three gill stripes (locked)
Three short, curved gill marks on each side of the neck/jaw — IDENTICAL in count, shape, size, and placement in every illustration. Never two, never four, never restyle.
Large expressive eyes (locked shape)
Big, round, warm eyes — white sclera, large black pupils, soft highlight. Use the EXACT same eye shape, size, and spacing in every image — the eyes are what children recognize first. Never small or beady.
Signature welcoming smile
Broadest, warmest smile — slightly wider than a natural grin, sweeping upward, with rounded (never pointed) teeth. Bubba ALWAYS looks welcoming — never aggressive, never scowling. Identical smile shape in every image.
Tail & dorsal fin proportions
Same tail length and dorsal fin size in every image so children instantly recognize him. Never stretch, shrink, or restyle.
Dark blue trousers
Non-negotiable outfit. Dark navy blue pants worn at the waist, ending at the ankle. Appears in EVERY full-body Bubba.
White & blue polka-dot sneakers (official)
Non-negotiable footwear — an official, recognized part of Bubba, as recognizable as the shark himself. White low-top base, thick white sole, blue polka dots. Appears in EVERY full-body Bubba, identical in every image.
Heart of kindness
Bubba protects, welcomes, and helps. His expression always reads "safe," not "scary."
