## Mission Cards - V8→V9 Iteration

### Critical Style Correction (V1 Reanalysis)
**Original analysis was WRONG.** V1 reference uses:
- **BLACK line work** (not warm sepia)
- **FLAT solid colors** (not soft gradients)
- Clean digital vector-like fills inside black outlines

V8 failed because it used watercolor-style soft gradients instead of flat fills.

### Locked Character Specs
- **Dad**: 50s, short gray hair, TRIM beard (NOT bushy)
- **Mom**: 30s, brown ponytail
- **Daughter**: 5yo, blonde bob
- **All 3**: Rosy cheeks, simple faces, small dot eyes

### 30% Color Rule
- ONLY characters get color (flat solid fills)
- Backgrounds = LINE WORK on cream paper
- No gradients, no shading, no watercolor effects anywhere

### Files & Locations
- V1 reference: `/home/clawd/workspace/mission/cards/scene_beach_lotion.png`
- V8 files: `scene_beach_v8.png`, `scene_hike_v8.png`, `scene_ski_v8.png`
- Notion version history: `300330c2-8646-8102-84ce-d2f75f15d5fa`
- Discord channel for images: `1469622965695021056`

### Next: V9
Generate 4 NEW situations (not beach/hike/ski) with corrected style:
- Black lines + flat colors
- No gradients anywhere
- Characters only colored, backgrounds line work
