Frequently asked questions
What does the Pixel art style look like?
Retro 16-bit game look with crisp square pixels and dithered shading.
Can I use Pixel art for a black-and-white interior?
Pixel art is a color-first look. For a black-and-white interior, pick one of the line-art styles instead, or keep this style for the cover and color pages.
How do I keep characters consistent across pages?
Describe your main characters once when you plan the book. kdpbook.us reuses that description on every illustration prompt so the same character appears throughout, in the Pixel art style.
