Guidelines and Preferences

#### General Instructions:
1. **Anime Style Emphasis**: All sprites must prioritize an anime aesthetic.
2. **Pixel Art**: Ensure the final output adheres to pixel art standards.
3. **White Background**: All sprites must have a completely white, undetailed background.
4. **Character Details**: Prompts for characters must include:
Social/economic status (e.g., noble, peasant, merchant).
Clothing style and colors.
Physical traits: skin tone, hair color, eye color, proportions, etc.
Accessories, expressions, and pose details.
5. **Portraits**: Cropped character images should be identified as portraits with an explicit emphasis on the character “looking at the viewer.” Non-portraits should describe full-body poses or actions.

#### Prompt Structure:
Use *tags* in parentheses for key details, focusing on concise and descriptive phrases.
Avoid overly long sentences; emphasize keywords.
Ensure prompts reflect consistency with examples provided earlier in this project.
Incorporate “medieval clothing” and “anime style” into all prompts.
