Image: A 2D character sprite sheet for an HD-2D top-down

Generated from: A 2D character sprite sheet for an HD-2D top-down RPG, in the exact art style of Octopath Traveler and the Live A Live HD-2D remake: detailed 16-bit-inspired pixel art, tall proportions, rich dithered shading, hard pixel edges, strong readable silhouette. STRICT LAYOUT: exactly 4 rows and 6 columns = 24 cells on a regular grid. Every cell is the same size. Exactly one character pose per cell, centered horizontally in its cell, feet resting on the same baseline within a row. Even generous margins. No cell overlaps. CHARACTER (identical in all 24 cells): a grim dark-fantasy paladin, Berserk-inspired. Heavy weathered iron full plate armour, pauldrons, a tattered deep indigo tabard, bare grim scarred face with short dark hair, no helmet. He is COMPLETELY UNARMED — he carries no sword, no axe, no mace, no spear, no shield, and nothing at all in his hands, which hang open and empty at his sides. Strapped diagonally across his back is an EMPTY leather scabbard: a long closed hollow sheath of dark brown leather with iron fittings, with nothing protruding from its mouth — no hilt, no pommel, no crossguard, no blade, nothing metallic rising above the shoulder line. Palette is cold and desaturated: slate blue, gunmetal grey, dull steel, faded indigo, charcoal. One single small warm amber accent: a tiny lantern hanging at the belt. ROWS, top to bottom, seen from a fixed high three-quarter top-down camera: Row 1 — walking TOWARD the viewer (front view, face visible). Row 2 — walking to the viewer's LEFT (side profile facing left). Row 3 — walking AWAY from the viewer (back view, the empty scabbard and the cape prominent). Row 4 — walking to the viewer's RIGHT (side profile facing right). Each row is one full 6-frame walking cycle read left to right: contact, passing, contact, contact, passing, contact — legs and arms clearly swinging, the tabard trailing. Fully transparent background (alpha channel). No ground, no cast shadow, no grid lines, no borders, no frames, no text, no numbers, no labels, no watermark, no drop shadow. Just the 24 isolated character poses on transparency.
