AI Prompt Template

A classic 8-bit pixel art profile picture of a [GENDER] character, depicted from the shoulders up, with a distinct [HAIR_COLOR] hair and simple, iconic [EYE_COLOR] pixelated eyes. The character is wearing a [CLOTHING_TYPE: e.g., pixelated hoodie, retro space suit, medieval tunic] and displays a clear [EXPRESSION: e.g., cheerful grin, stoic look, determined frown]. The background is a simple yet thematic [BACKGROUND_ELEMENTS: e.g., a pixelated forest, a starry night sky, a solid [COLOR] block]. The style is reminiscent of iconic 1980s and early 1990s video game sprites, such as those from classic Nintendo or Sega games, using a limited color palette (e.g., 16 or 32 colors) and stark outlines. The lighting is flat and even, typical of pixel art, emphasizing clarity of form. Rendered at a high resolution to preserve pixel integrity while allowing for modern display, resulting in sharp, blocky edges. The atmosphere is nostalgic, charming, and distinctly retro-gaming. 4K upscaled output.

Customizable variables: [GENDER], [HAIR_COLOR], [EYE_COLOR], [CLOTHING_TYPE], [EXPRESSION], [BACKGROUND_ELEMENTS], [COLOR]
