How to write great sprite prompts

A great sprite prompt is four ingredients in one sentence: subject, colors, pose, and style. Miss one and the model fills the gap with a guess — usually a generic, grey, "fantasy character" guess.

Open the Generator (top nav → Generator) and follow along.

Before you type anything, choose a Project in the top dropdown. Projects lock the Sprite DNA (silhouette, palette, outline style, signature features) for every sprite you generate inside them. Without a project you can still generate "loose" sprites, but you lose the consistency guarantee.

Subject. A specific noun. Not "warrior" — "an armored frost-knight with a kite shield and a curved horn helmet."

Colors. Name 2–3 dominant colors. "Cobalt blue plate armor, gold trim, crimson cape."

Pose. What the character is doing. "Standing idle, sword resting on the shoulder, weight on left leg."

Style. Even with Pixel/HD-2D set, name a reference: *"16-bit JRPG, Castlevania SOTN palette"* or *"Octopath Traveler-style HD-2D, soft rim light."*

Tap Enhance (1 credit) — it rewrites your line using your project's DNA. Read the rewrite before generating.

A [subject with 2–3 features], wearing [colors],
in a [pose] pose, [style reference],
transparent background, no scenery, no text.
