- 02Jewel-tone saturation held throughout
- 03Shadow shapes drawn as design, not rendered
Prompts
The prompts stay in English on purpose: image models read English best, so translating them only costs you quality. Paste them as they are.
Character prompt
Goes in the Style field of the character, T-pose and animation tools.
bold comic-illustration 2D game character, strong inked contour lines of varying weight, hard-edged cel shading in two or three steps, highly saturated jewel-tone colours, dramatic underlighting
Tilemap prompt
Goes in the tilemap tool's custom style field.
bold comic-illustration terrain, inked contours of varying weight, hard-edged two-step cel shading, highly saturated jewel-tone colours, strong warm-cool colour separation between lit and shadowed material
Background prompt
Generate a background image with this first, then feed that image to the scene splitter. Replace the bracketed part with your own scene.
A single 2D game background plate for [YOUR SCENE — e.g. a seaside village at dusk]. Horizontal composition, drawn as one illustrated scene whose buildings, trees, rocks and props sit clearly apart from one another, each fully visible and not overlapping, so every one of them can be cut out afterwards as a standalone asset. Draw it as bold comic illustration: inked contours of varying weight, hard-edged cel shading in two or three steps, highly saturated jewel tones, and dramatic directional light. Keep one consistent light direction and one consistent perspective across the whole scene. No characters, no text, no labels, no UI, no logos, no watermark, no border.

Reference for your eye only. The prompts never name a game, so the model designs something of its own instead of copying one.
