Art source — review 01

The two drawings we protect before we animate.

This is the clean source-art foundation: the exact idle identity and the clean raised-arm celebration drawing. The work from here is about building a Rive system that moves between drawings without ever turning Drum’s paws, outline, or body into a soft cutout.

Idle identity remains the locked visual reference.
Hands-up is a separate authored drawing — not stretched idle arms.
There is deliberately no “fake” in-between animation on this page.

What you are reviewing: the approved key-art source. The celebration action itself is not being presented as finished until its intermediate drawings meet this same silhouette quality.

Key drawing 01

Neutral / idle

Original front-facing identity. This is the shape, outline weight, eyes, paws, and body proportion that every pose must preserve.

Locked

Exact approved source

Key drawing 02

Celebration / hands up

Separate clean action drawing. The raised paws and thumbs are treated as real drawn anatomy, never as an arm cutout being rotated.

Locked

Drum in the approved hands-up celebration pose

Clean corrective source
