Use case: stylized-concept. Asset: a standalone transparent dialogue bust of SURLY (taking the name Laseen) in the prologue of Gardens of the Moon.
The input is a STYLE reference only: same pixel-art line weight, material ramps, stepped contours, diffuse light and160x192 logical readability. Surly is a completely different ADULT WOMAN; do not copy the boy's face or costume.
Book-grounded appearance: dusky BLUE Napan skin; close-cropped fair mousy/ashy brown hair like a soldier, lying near the scalp, NOT a bob or long fringe; BROWN eyes. Thin, plain, unmemorable features, narrow face, modest eyes, ordinary nose and mouth. A serious adult around thirty as an interpretive age choice. She is deliberately unglamorous and unadorned, with no makeup, jewellery, beauty styling, pointy ears or supernatural eye glow.
She wears only a plain grey ROBE with faint whitish salt stains at collar and shoulder edge, coarse practical fabric. No armour, cloak clasp, crown, lace, embroidered design, seductive neckline or royal regalia.
Composition: head, neck, shoulders and upper chest; bust angled slightly toward the viewer's LEFT, closed mouth, cold composed IMPASSIVE expression, eyes calmly assessing. Show full hair silhouette. Transparent5:6 canvas with slight clearance, a hard clean silhouette and intact lower bust edge, no fade, shadow or scenery.
Art: restrained crafted pixel portrait matching the reference's rendering quality, muted slate-blue skin with desaturated cool shadows and gentle warmer highlights, grey robe, ashy short fair hair, cool diffuse upper-left lighting. Simplify microtexture, no dither noise, no painterly blur. No text, labels, frames, swatches, extra faces or hood. Her blue skin must be natural skin colour and her plainness must be respected.
