How to use this prompt

SDXL needs explicit scale cues like "32x32 pixel style" or it will render a high-res illustration. "Transparent background" and "front-facing idle pose" make the sprite usable in a game engine. If the pixel grid is inconsistent, add "consistent pixel scale" and lower cfg. This is a strong base for RPG NPC sheets.

Variations to try

  • Blacksmith — "muscular blacksmith with hammer, leather apron, soot stains"
  • Mage — "robed mage with staff, pointed hat, glowing orb, purple accent"
