Creates a 16-frame 3D chibi mascot battle animation sprite sheet for GIFs, games, or character motion studies.
Goal: Create a clean 3D chibi fighting animation sprite sheet for a cute mascot character, suitable for making a looping GIF.
Canvas: Square 1:1 canvas, about 1200 x 1200 px, with a transparent-background preview shown as a light gray checkerboard. Arrange the sprites in an evenly spaced 4 columns by 4 rows grid, for exactly 16 separate animation frames. Leave generous padding around each character and keep all frames at a consistent scale.
Character: A toy-like glossy 3D chibi mascot with a peach-colored round onion/droplet-shaped head and a small pointed top, tiny smiling mouth, rosy cheeks, oversized black sunglasses, and the black number 29 printed on the upper forehead. The body is small and heroic, wearing a bright blue long-sleeve bodysuit with a white belt stripe, a red scarf/capelet at the neck, a small white circuit-like emblem on the chest, red gloves or rounded fists, and shiny red boots. Use soft studio lighting, smooth plastic/vinyl toy material, rounded proportions, and a cheerful confident expression.
Sprite actions: Depict exactly 16 frames of a simple battle motion sequence, all facing mostly forward with slight 3/4 turns. Count and show these frames in order from left to right, top to bottom: 1 neutral guard stance with both fists raised; 2 wider guard stance; 3 right-arm straight punch beginning; 4 right-arm punch fully extended; 5 reset guard stance; 6 guard stance leaning slightly; 7 long straight punch across the body; 8 return to guard; 9 left knee lift preparation; 10 higher knee lift; 11 side kick fully extended to the right; 12 second extended side kick frame; 13 knee lift recovery; 14 neutral guard stance; 15 neutral guard stance variation; 16 final neutral guard stance.
Visual style: High-quality cute 3D render, Nintendo-like mascot toy aesthetic, crisp edges, saturated primary colors, soft shadows, consistent camera angle, consistent character size, no motion blur, no outlines except natural 3D shading.
Constraints: No text labels other than the forehead number. Do not add weapons, backgrounds, UI elements, frame borders, watermarks, or extra characters. Keep the checkerboard transparency preview visible behind every frame.
