Painting & line
Illuminated manuscript
Pre-perspective painting: flat colour, ink contours, gold accents and a world arranged by importance rather than by depth.
What to look at
- 01Perspective deliberately flattened
- 02Gold-leaf accents against flat colour
- 03Parchment tone showing through everywhere
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.
medieval illuminated manuscript game character, flat egg-tempera colours with gold-leaf accents, ink contour drawing, deliberately flattened perspective and stylised proportions, aged parchment ground
Tilemap prompt
Goes in the tilemap tool's custom style field.
medieval illuminated manuscript terrain, flat egg-tempera colours with gold-leaf accents on aged parchment, ink contour drawing, stylised flattened forms, decorative patterned fills instead of realistic texture
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 medieval illuminated manuscript page: flat egg-tempera colours with gold-leaf accents on aged parchment, ink contour drawing, deliberately flattened perspective and decorative patterned fills. 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.
