Gemini Nano Banana’s prompts to generate 16-bit video game characters

  1. Reimagine the person in the photo as a 16-bit arcade fighting game character sprite, mid-fight stance. They wear a leather jacket over casual streetwear, fists clenched, with a fierce, determined look. The pose should be dynamic, as if caught in the moment of launching an attack. The background is a gritty city street with pixelated graffiti, a flickering streetlamp, and brick walls. The art style should mimic classic arcade fighters with bold outlines and a punchy colour palette.
  1. Reimagine the person in the photo as a 16-bit wizard character sprite in flowing pixelated robes embroidered with glowing runes. They are holding a tall, magical staff crowned with a crystal that emits light. The pose shows them casting a spell, with pixelated magical effects spiralling around their hands. The background is a high-fantasy landscape, a mountain peak beneath a swirling starry sky, with pixelated sparks and light trails. The art style is vibrant, dramatic, and faithful to classic RPGs.
  1. Reimagine the person in the photo as a 16-bit cyberpunk hacker sprite from the waist up. They wear a futuristic visor with glowing neon lines, a hooded jacket, and gloves with holographic fingertips. They are seated at a console, surrounded by glowing holographic pixel-art screens filled with code. The background is a neon-lit cityscape with skyscrapers, neon signs, and rain streaks rendered in 16-bit detail.
