- Specify the palette size — unlimited colour is what makes fake pixel art look downsampled rather than drawn.
- Describe the lighting itself — "hard low side-key with deep negative fill" locks a cinematic look without naming a real person.

- Add "negative fill on camera left" for deeper, more expensive-looking shadows.
