# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=fantasy-console+pixel-art
# Fantasy Console carries the structure. Pixel Art appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Fantasy Console (Style, 2015–) and its accent from Pixel Art (Technique, 1970s–). Structural cues: Self-imposed resolution limits; A fixed 16-color palette; The fiction of cartridges; A culture of shared smallness. Accent cues, used sparingly: Visible pixels; Limited palettes; Tiles; Sprites. Composition: The low resolution decided first, screen content cut back until it fits. Type and lettering: Only the built-in bitmap font, with spacing left to the specification. Let one material quality come from the second style: Limited palette, dark outlines, neighboring hues to soften the steps. Mood: Play, Technology, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #26243f, #ef6a55, #f3d36b. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Fantasy Console: Loosening the limits after the fact abandons the shared premise of smallness and leaves a screen that is merely coarse.
# - Pixel Art: Downscaling a photograph skips the decision behind every single pixel, and the contours turn muddy the moment the image is enlarged.
