Use case: stylized-concept. Asset: one dialogue BUST portrait candidate for a pixel-art JRPG, designed to read at160x192 logical pixels. The reference is Ganoes's face/age/black-hair identity guide only. Preserve that recognisable twelve-year-old, with soft child cheeks and an alert educated noble child's bearing. Revise clothing to well-tailored muted indigo fine-wool civilian tunic with small ivory linen collar and discreet narrow warm-buff finishing, a prosperous merchant's son. No armour, weapon, crown, crest, jewellery or oversized ornament.
Composition: head, neck, shoulders and upper chest only, fully visible crown of hair, three-quarter angle looking slightly to the viewer's right, eyes directed right/inward. Neutral curious attentive expression, lips closed. Modest hair volume, broad simple black clusters. Centre the bust on a transparent portrait-format5:6 canvas with a little clearance around hair and shoulders. Clean full-opacity silhouette, no bottom fade or background.
Style: refined restrained JRPG pixel portrait, clean stepped contours, shaped pixel clusters, subtle selective outline, limited tonal ramps, cool diffuse upper-left light, warm skin clearly separated from blue clothing. At160x192 the eyes and mouth must read clearly without tiny noisy details. Consistent clean pixel-art surface with no dither noise, freckles, realistic skin pores, painterly blur or antialiasing. Hands not visible. No labels, text, palette, frames, scenery or extra faces. This bust is a standalone runtime-art candidate, not a character sheet.
