Pixel & retro
Monochrome pixel
Two colours, no mid-tones. Every material has to be told apart by its dither pattern, which forces unusually strong silhouettes.
What to look at
- 01Exactly two colours, no greys
- 02Materials told apart by dither pattern
- 03Negative space standing in for shadow
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.
monochrome two-tone pixel art game sprite, a single ink colour on a single paper colour, no grey tones, shading implied only by dither patterns and negative space, bold readable silhouette
Tilemap prompt
Goes in the tilemap tool's custom style field.
monochrome two-tone pixel art terrain, one ink colour on one paper colour, no mid-greys at all, every material distinguished by its dither pattern and line density rather than by value
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 monochrome two-tone pixel art: one ink colour on one paper colour, no mid-tones at all, with depth and material told entirely through dither patterns and the density of marks. 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.
