Town Street Backdrop

Generated from: Crisp hand-painted 16-bit PIXEL ART side-scrolling stage backdrop for a 2D pixel RPG, art style of Eastward. Warm, richly detailed, slightly melancholic small-town street at low evening sun. STRICT CAMERA: fixed flat FRONT / SIDE VIEW, staged like a theatre set, absolutely no perspective tilt, no top-down, no isometric angle, no vanishing point. COMPOSITION, exactly as written: - A warm cobblestone street runs along the BOTTOM 22 percent of the frame: one calm, readable, fairly uniform strip of chunky stone paving. - Dead CENTRE of the frame: a round stone purification pool. Its circular basin rim is about 24 percent of the image width across and it sits ON the street line. A slim weathered stone pillar rises from the middle of the basin; on top of the pillar sits a soft cyan-white glowing crystal whose top reaches about 45 percent of the image height. Gentle cyan light spills onto the cobbles around the pool. - LEFT of the pool: a cream plaster house with dark timber beams and a red clay-tile roof, a small red awning, a visible door and windows on its front face, and a chimney. - RIGHT of the pool: a dark wood house with a golden thatch roof, a visible door and windows on its front face. - Between and around the houses: two iron lamp posts with warm glowing lanterns, two round-canopy trees behind the houses, small flower beds, a wooden bench, a barrel, two wooden crates, a small wooden sign. - The LEFT and RIGHT thirds of the frame stay SIMPLE and open: soft sky, faint distant hills, only the tail ends of the houses, so they read as empty entry space. SKY: soft warm evening gradient, amber at the horizon into dusty blue above, faint distant hills. PALETTE, limited and warm only: amber gold #E8A33D, warm cream #F2DCB0 and #F7E3BE, terracotta and red clay #B5563A #8E3B2C, dark timber brown #4A3626 and #3B2A20, golden thatch #C9993F, teal-cyan pool glow #4FC3C7 and #BFF3F0, deep blue shadow #24304D and #1B2340. STYLE: chunky visible square pixel clusters, hard pixel edges, dithered shading, limited palette. NO anti-aliasing, NO blur, NO soft airbrush gradients, NO photographic detail, NO 3D render look. NO text, NO UI, NO letters, NO logos, NO watermark. NO characters, NO people, NO creatures in the scene.
