Text tip or reference image, and describe the target engine.
Clarify sheet/set, frame sequence and layout.
Set the output canvas from the selected platform placement or production template, not from a reference image. Choose the option that matches this request: pixel-art asset working canvas — 1:1 (recommended). Use a different ratio only when a verified placement or production template requires it. Use the selected template for final delivery. Use 1:1 only as the recommended working canvas for pixel-art asset when no template is available. Compose the subject with appropriate breathing room. Create one aspect-ratio-specific deliverable per request; generate each additional placement as a separate output. Recompose for the selected ratio while preserving the complete subject, all text, and every required safe area. Never stretch the subject or treat cropping important content as adaptation.
