# Voxel Art (ボクセルアート) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.604 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/voxel-art
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Voxel Art, a style from Digital Image Techniques, 1990s–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: making game worlds, maps and diagrams whose volume can be stacked, removed or exposed, or producing consistent miniature 3D icons and scenes from few colors and units. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Contours and surfaces exposing equal cubes
- Curves translated into stepped volume
- A small restricted palette applied face by face
- Box-like scenes read in orthographic or weak perspective

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Fix an isometric or orthographic view and keep the main silhouette clear of background cubes
- Type and lettering: Build lettering from the same cube grid and do not mix it with smooth conventional type
- Material and surface: Fix voxel size and palette first, leaving slopes and curves as stepped volumes rather than subdividing them away
- Colour: #D9E6D2 carries the ground, #D96D43 is the colour the style is remembered by, #293B55 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: play, technique, nostalgia

## What goes wrong

Square-looking low polygons are not voxel art. Form must be constructed from occupied units of a regular three-dimensional grid.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
