Extreme retro, game sprites
128-256px
Balanced detail and style
256-512px

DITHERING_METHOD
Dithering creates the illusion of color depth by mixing pixels. Different algorithms produce different artistic effects.
None
Clean, flat colors with no texture
Floyd-Steinberg
Classic algorithm with natural-looking gradients
Atkinson
Lighter, more artistic dithering pattern
Bayer Matrix
Ordered pattern, great for retro aesthetics
