JRPG Pixel Art Effect

Use the uploaded photo as the reference image. Convert the entire image into a clean JRPG-style pixel-art scene.

Preserve the original subject, pose, outfit, hairstyle, facial expression, skin tone, body proportions, props, background, camera angle, framing, perspective, lighting direction, color temperature, and overall scene layout. Do not redesign the scene or add new objects.

Render it like a late-1990s / early-2000s 2D pixel-art game background with a character sprite integrated into the environment. The style should feel like an urban slice-of-life JRPG, visual novel background, or early console story-game cutscene.

Keep the original photo's lighting mood and color relationships. Do not shift the image warmer, darker, more orange, more brown, more sepia, or more cinematic. Preserve natural skin color, original clothing colors, original shadow direction, and the overall white balance from the reference photo.

Use clean hand-pixeled rendering, muted but accurate colors, simple readable forms, crisp outlines, controlled pixel clusters, subtle dithering, and soft blocky shadows.

The character should look like a natural semi-realistic anime/JRPG pixel character, not chibi and not overly cute. Preserve the person's recognizable hairstyle, outfit, pose, proportions, expression, skin tone, and facial structure, simplified into pixel-art form.

The environment should stay faithful to the reference photo, only translated into pixel art. Keep vehicles, walls, streets, buildings, interiors, landscapes, furniture, objects, and background elements in their original positions when present. Simplify details into clean pixel shapes rather than adding extra decoration.

The final result should look like a real 2D game screenshot or cutscene from a grounded retro JRPG, not a pixel filter, not a poster illustration, and not modern digital art.
