Prompt to generate 8-bit / retro pixel avatar

Style:

• Classic 8-bit / NES-era pixel art

• Low resolution, blocky pixels (no smooth edges, no blur)

• Strong outlines and clean pixel placement

• Square pixel grid clearly visible

Composition:

• Keep the same character pose and framing (head + shoulders portrait)

• Maintain key features: flowing dark hair, elegant face, jewelry, and peacock feather accessory

Color & palette:

• Reduce to a limited color palette (16–32 colors total)

• Preserve the dark aesthetic with gold accents

• Use flat colors with minimal shading (2–3 tones per area)

• High contrast between highlights and shadows

Details:

• Simplify intricate elements like jewelry and feathers into readable pixel shapes

• Keep the golden ornaments and headpiece recognizable

• Eyes should be expressive but minimal (few pixels)

Lighting:

• Soft directional lighting (top-left)

• Use pixel shading instead of gradients

Technical:

• Resolution: 64x64 or 128x128 pixels

• No anti-aliasing

• No gradients, only solid color blocks

Output:

• Clean, sharp retro pixel avatar

• Faithful to original design but simplified into 8-bit style
