Flash-era cartoon

The browser-game cartoon of the 2000s: thick even outlines, flat bright fills, one shadow tone and chunky, goofy proportions. Built from vectors, so it stays crisp at any size.

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.

2000s Flash-era cartoon 2D game character, thick uniform black vector outlines, flat bright colour fills with one simple cel shadow tone, chunky exaggerated proportions, big expressive face, clean vector look

Tilemap prompt

Goes in the tilemap tool's custom style field.

2000s Flash-era cartoon terrain: flat bright colour fills with one simple shadow tone, thick uniform outlines on objects, simple stylised texture marks, clean vector edges, no gradients, no noise

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 a 2000s Flash-era cartoon: thick uniform black vector outlines, flat bright colour fills with one simple shadow tone, chunky exaggerated shapes, simple stylised backgrounds and a clean vector finish. 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.
