Generated from: Hand-painted paper-cut game architecture for a 2D side-scrolling metroidvania, area "Der Erloschene": an abandoned city built from burnt-out candle architecture. CANVAS: exactly 2048 pixels wide and 1024 pixels high (2:1). Orthographic SIDE VIEW only - one flat elevation, no perspective, no foreshortening, no visible top surface, no isometric, no 3D render look. SUBJECT: one massive repeatable floor strip. WALK EDGE: a single perfectly straight horizontal line at exactly 25 percent of the canvas height from the top (y = 256 px). Above that line the image is completely EMPTY and fully transparent. Below that line the material is one continuous solid mass all the way down to the bottom canvas border - a real massive cross-section with no transparent holes, no hollow gaps, no floating fragments and no thin decorative edge. LEFT AND RIGHT BORDERS: both are straight flush cut edges. Material runs right to both borders from the walk edge down to the bottom, with NO outer contour line, NO dark separator, NO frame and NO padding along them, so the piece repeats horizontally and end caps join flush. MATERIAL CROSS-SECTION from the top down, one band scheme that must also be visible at both cut borders: (1) a thin compacted ash lip sitting on the walk face, entirely inside the solid, (2) a bold slightly irregular soot-black contour along the walk edge, (3) burnt masonry strata in warm ash grey and anthracite with a few LARGE angular blocks and wide flat separations, (4) a darker anthracite and desaturated brown mass, (5) two or three wide melted dirty-wax drips in wax ivory, (6) a deep near-black base. Few large material forms only - NOT a carpet of small cracks, bricks, ornaments or particles. STYLE: hand-painted matte paper-cut, clear strongly simplified silhouette from few layered slightly angular shapes, sparse grain, one bold slightly irregular dark outer contour, restrained inner edge highlight in muted ivory. Flat matte surfaces. Quiet, still, spent, melancholy, venerable. PALETTE: soot black #272A28, soot olive #3A3B32, anthracite, warm ash grey #756E61, desaturated brown, dirty wax ivory #C8C0AA, at most a trace of faint ember #9A6544 under 2 percent of the surface. BACKGROUND: fully transparent, alpha 0. Output a PNG with a real RGBA alpha channel. Do NOT paint a checkerboard, a white plate, a black plate, a grey backdrop, a shadow, a horizon, a vignette, a frame, a label, text or a watermark. Clean anti-aliased edges with no pale or dark colour fringe.
