The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.

Pixel art style, a limited 16-color palette, crisp pixel edges with no anti-aliasing, dithering for gradients, consistent light direction. A little knight stands by a campfire in a forest, the night sky and a few stars behind him, the firelight glinting on his armor. 64×64 pixels scaled up evenly, no blurry edges.

Common pitfalls

Anti-aliased edges make it look like a low-resolution photo.
Too many colors lose the unified style.

Parameter tips

Set a palette before drawing; check it zoomed out.
