Pixel Art Nightscape
A retro pixel-art nightscape showcases a woman as a playable character sitting on her terrace parapet under a starry sky. The vibrant contrast between cool moonlight and warm accents creates a charming, serene atmosphere perfect for a phone wallpaper.
Create one vertical 9:16 image: a retro pixel-art night level with the woman in the attached photo sitting on the parapet of her terrace, drawn as the playable character. Visible chunky pixels, crisp stepped edges, no anti-aliasing, a deep blue night palette with a few warm accents. Her face keeps enough pixel detail to be exactly her: same eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone, age and any marks carried into the sprite, never a generic game face. Natural proportions. Layout: the figure sits in the lower half of the frame with her head near the centre line, and the whole upper half is open night sky so the picture works as a phone wallpaper. She sits on the parapet with her legs over the city side, both hands resting flat on the ledge beside her thighs, in a grey hoodie, black joggers and slides, headphones around her neck, hair a little flattened from the day. Torso facing the lens, head tilted up and turned a little camera-left, eyes following a tiny blinking plane crossing the top-left sky, not the lens; mouth relaxed, a quiet contented look. World in parallax layers: the near parapet with a steel tumbler and a phone face-down beside her, a black water tank and a clothesline with two hanging shirts on the right, then rows of neighbouring rooftops with scattered lit windows, a far skyline with one red blinking tower light, a big pale pixel moon upper-right and single-pixel stars. The moon is the main light, cool on her face, hoodie and the top of the ledge, with a shadow under her hands; the warm glow of windows and street lamps below tints her lower half and the parapet wall. No text, logo or watermark anywhere.

About this look
Crisp, chunky pixels define this retro-style piece, focusing on a woman perched comfortably on the parapet of her terrace. The use of a deep blue palette accented with warm glows from windows below creates a visually compelling contrast. The character maintains natural human proportions and identifiable features, drawn into the pixelated nightscape as she gazes at a tiny plane crossing the sky. The upper half of the image remains open to emphasize the vastness of the night sky, while various parallax layers engage the viewer throughout the scene.
How to use this prompt
To use this prompt effectively, supply a clear photo of the woman who will be transformed into the pixel character. Ensure the image shows her distinct features, as these should carry over into the pixel design accurately. The aspect ratio is set to 9:16 for a phone wallpaper, with specified details like the ledge context and surrounding cityscape. If the final image lacks character detail, consider adjusting the reference photo for more expressive features.
Tips to customize it
