I used to make art for programming projects before. What kind of mascot is expected anyways?

@kamikyoku: First of all, we really appreciate your interest. However, I'm afraid that we're not accepting contributions from some individuals seeking for one-time contribution to an arbitrary repository. Judging from your GitHub profile, you seem to be a freelance artist not actively involved in modern C++ development. As such, we don't have any idea how you ended up finding our project.

Iris is a very experimental library in the current stage. It is actively used in my recent C++ projects including an actively developed game, but it's not quite like some mature OSS that accepts contributions from random contributors.

Creating a mascot character is part of branding, and branding is an important, non-trivial task. I don't want to say this, but we just can't let unfamiliar person to design our mascot character.

If you're truly interested in our project, please show us a compelling usage experience, perhaps by submitting some issues or pull requests. Thank you for your understanding!

First of all, I apologize for the sudden response. I made mascots for fun around a few years ago, but stopped since then to continue with some real-life affairs.

I've designed Lucy, the mascot for the Gleam programming language, along with some planned assets...

As well as Astrakitty from Astrakit, a project I'll wait for its completion...

As such, we don't have any idea how you ended up finding our project.

I found this project, the same way I found the projects I've mentioned above, by searching for mascot projects and work on them for fun.

Along with that, I have some personal projects (mascot and non-mascot stuff) as well which you can find here.

Please read my reply more carefully. Given that our library is still in an experimental stage, we don't accept branding contribution from some individual who is not actively involved in our development.
