Tips for Prompt

1) Specify Your Subject in `[]`:

Replace [mage character, dark fantasy mage dwarf with a blond beard, holding a magical stick] with custom traits to create your unique character.

2) Use Specific Traits:

Define the character’s features, like “dark fantasy dwarf with a blond beard,” for distinctiveness. Specific details enhance uniqueness and make the character memorable.

3) Stick to 8-bit Aesthetics:

Avoid high-resolution adjustments to preserve the nostalgic feel. The 8-bit format is essential for achieving authentic retro vibes.

4) Opt for a Dark Background:

Keep the black background for contrast, making the mage character stand out. A dark canvas highlights the bright colors and details of pixel art.

5) Focus on Centered Composition:

Ensure the character is placed symmetrically in the frame. Balanced framing works well for game sprites or digital icons.

6) Incorporate Magical Details:

Add glowing effects or runes on the staff to enhance the fantasy theme. Magical elements increase visual interest and tie into the dark fantasy genre.

7) Adjust Proportions Carefully:

Experiment with proportions for a distinct Nintendo-inspired look. Slight exaggerations can add charm and align with classic game design styles.

Use –style raw and a lower stylized value like –s 250 to emphasize sharp pixel edges. This maintains the crisp and defined look of traditional pixel art.
