Profile / Avatar - Pastel Zodiac Avatar Grid

Goal: Create a cute 12-character Chinese zodiac avatar collection in one image, designed as a social media profile icon style expansion set.

Visual style: Soft hand-painted pastel gouache and oil-pastel texture, visible crayon-like strokes, whimsical children’s book illustration, bright spring colors, cozy internet-avatar aesthetic, fluffy textures, rounded faces, expressive eyes, playful accessories, warm sunlight, abundant wildflowers, painterly backgrounds, no photorealism.
