Fictional portrait: Handheld LCD Character — Style

PROMPT_CONSOLE

Ready-to-use prompt

English

Transform the attached photo into a full-body side-view handheld LCD game sprite built at a logical 48 x 72 pixels. Use only four flat dot-matrix tones—#0F380F, #306230, #8BAC0F and #9BBC0F—with square pixel clusters, no gradients, no anti-aliasing, a one-pixel highlight language, and uniform front light. Replace the casual pose with a compact walking-ready side stance and a neutral closed-mouth profile. Keep her recognizable through facial profile, long-hair silhouette and floral-dress value pattern, but redraw every part—face, eyes and skin included—fully as four-tone LCD pixel art; no photographic skin or pasted-on realistic face. Use a solid chroma-magenta #FF00FF background absent from the sprite. Deliver vertical 2:3, nearest-neighbor enlarged, with no scenery, text, logo or watermark.

DOC.01What defines this style

Four green-gray tones reduce a side-view hero to a crisp dot-matrix sprite.

This sprite imitates early monochrome handheld LCD graphics with fixed square dots and only four green-gray values. Its severe palette, side profile and binary clusters create a very different production constraint from colorful 8-bit portraits or 16-bit full-body sprites.

Use it for

Monochrome handheld prototypes
Retro side-view status screens
Limited-palette challenge games

Practical notes

In Stable Diffusion, disable face restoration and any automatic detail enhancement.
Test the sprite at 48 x 72 before judging the nearest-neighbor preview.
In Flux, state the four color codes again if extra shades appear.
