Tokyo City Nights — Jar 240×320 Pixel Art Guide
Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to create a 240×320 pixel art "Tokyo City Nights" scene inside a jar (bottle terrarium style). It covers composition, palette, pixel techniques, layer plan, animation suggestions, and export settings.
One Tuesday, at 2:00 AM in the real world, the player finally hit the mark. The phone vibrated—a harsh, mechanical buzz. The screen flashed. Suddenly, the MIDI music slowed down, and the purple sky turned a vibrant, glowing amber. Kenji walked to the Rooftop Garden. There she was: tokyo city nights jar 240x320

- Dithering: Use subtle 2×2 or patterned dithering on large gradients (sky, glass) to avoid banding but keep it soft.
- Anti-aliasing: Manually AA only on large curved shapes (jar rim, some sign edges).
- Linework: Use 1–2 px outlines selectively. Prefer no outline on glass elements; use color contrast instead.
- Subpixel detail: Use single-pixel highlights for rain, distant windows, and QR-code–like sign textures.
- Reflections: Mirror key neon elements into puddles by copying shapes, vertical flip, then lower opacity and apply color desaturation + horizontal blur pixels (staggered semi-regular pixels).
- Glass distortion: Slight horizontal displacement (1–2 px) and desaturation across scene edges to simulate curved glass refraction.
- Bloom/glow: Create soft glow by layering semi-transparent pixels around neon sources (1–4 px radius), using palette colors with reduced saturation and lighter value.

- Resolution locked to 240x320 – won’t fit modern smartphones without black bars
- Some images are slightly compressed (visible banding in gradients)
