How to use this prompt

Midjourney can't actually output a true 32x32 image — it renders a large picture that only imitates the look — so always add sharp pixel edges, no anti-aliasing or the blocks blur into a smudge. Treat the result as reference and trace it onto a real 32x32 grid in Aseprite for a usable sprite. The single-pixel black outline is doing the real work: it's what lets a tiny character read against any tile background, and without it the sprite dissolves into the scene. Hold the palette to four or five warm hues — the model over-shades and quietly breaks the limited-palette pixel look. Center the pose so it's clean to cut out.

Variations to try

  • Enemy slime — a 32x32 purple slime with a two-frame idle wobble, same outline and palette
  • Mage class — swap the sword for a staff and a blue robe with a cool purple palette
