Use case: stylized-concept. ONE new transparent-background JRPG dialogue bust. Match the reference's controlled pixel clusters, dark warm outlines, limited muted colours and upper-left light. Crisp pixel-art authored as if 160x192 native and nearest enlarged; no soft painting, no full-body figure. Head, shoulders and upper chest, three-quarter view toward screen right, top of hair fully inside canvas, shoulders end on lower edge. No border, text, emblem, backdrop, glow, jewellery unless explicitly specified. True alpha. Subject: Ganoes Paran now nineteen years old, seven years older than the boy in reference1. Preserve recognisable black hair, facial lineage, warm colouring and eyes but mature jaw, smaller adult eye/head proportions, broad adult shoulders, clean shaven and handsome. Do not stretch or simply enlarge the child face. Reference2 establishes older adolescent/adult rendering, NOT its red hair, scar texture or equipment. A young Malazan lieutenant: practical dark muted navy-grey officer clothing, visible finely clustered mail hauberk at neck/shoulders, restrained travel cloak and simple sword-strap. No crown, no royal finery, no medals, no fiddle, no facial scars, no beard. Neutral watchful professionalism, slight weariness in eyes, no smile. This is a clean identity master; scene blood/grime added separately later. Do not make a grizzled middle-aged warrior. Costume detail is restrained interpretation.
