# Neo-Impressionism × Pixel Art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=neo-impressionism+pixel-art
# Neo-Impressionism 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 Neo-Impressionism (Style, 1886–1900) and its accent from Pixel Art (Technique, 1970s–). Structural cues: Dots placed at even intervals; Vibration from juxtaposed complementaries; Pure colours never mixed; A framing effect from a dotted border. Accent cues, used sparingly: Visible pixels; Limited palettes; Tiles; Sprites. Composition: An even lattice of dots fills the field, a dotted border acting as frame. Type and lettering: A precise light sans set small, never built from dots, keeping its outline. Let one material quality come from the second style: Limited palette, dark outlines, neighboring hues to soften the steps. Mood: Technology, Trust, Calm, Play, 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 84 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Neo-Impressionism: Avoid irregular, gestural dabs—once the dots lose their even discipline the optical mixture fails and the surface turns into loose Impressionism.
# - Pixel Art: Downscaling a photograph skips the decision behind every single pixel, and the contours turn muddy the moment the image is enlarged.
