## Basic Shapes

### Example 1: Simple 8x8 Heart Icon

**User Request:**
> "Create a simple red heart icon, 8x8 pixels"

**Approach:**
1. Create a small 8x8 canvas in indexed color mode
2. Set up a simple palette with red and black
3. Draw the heart shape pixel by pixel
4. Save the file

**Tool Calls:**
```javascript
mcp__aseprite__create_canvas({
  width: 8,
  height: 8,
  colorMode: "indexed",
  name: "heart-icon"
})

mcp__aseprite__set_palette({
  colors: [
    { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 },      // Index 0: Black (transparent)
    { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 }     // Index 1: Red
  ]
})

mcp__aseprite__draw_pixels({
  pixels: [
    { x: 1, y: 1, colorIndex: 1 }, { x: 2, y: 1, colorIndex: 1 },
    { x: 5, y: 1, colorIndex: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 1, colorIndex: 1 },

})
```

**Result:**
A retro NES-style slime enemy with simple shading, using a limited color palette typical of 8-bit games.

**Visual Description:**
The slime has a rounded blob shape with a light green top (with white highlight spot), medium green middle section showing simple dot eyes, and darker green lower body. A dark outline defines the entire shape. The style evokes classic Dragon Quest or early Final Fantasy enemies.

## Complex Scenes

### Example 9: Grass Tile for Tileset

**User Request:**
> "Create a seamless grass tile, 16x16, that can repeat to make a continuous ground texture"

**Approach:**
1. Create 16x16 indexed canvas
2. Set grass color palette
3. Draw base grass color
4. Add detail ensuring edges match for seamless tiling
5. Test seamless edges

**Tool Calls:**
```javascript
mcp__aseprite__create_canvas({
  width: 16,
  height: 16,
  colorMode: "indexed",
  name: "grass-tile"
})

mcp__aseprite__set_palette({
  colors: [
    { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 },          // Index 0: Transparent
    { r: 34, g: 139, b: 34 },      // Index 1: Base grass green
    { r: 50, g: 180, b: 50 },      // Index 2: Light grass
    { r: 20, g: 100, b: 20 }       // Index 3: Dark grass
  ]
})

// Fill with base grass color
mcp__aseprite__fill_area({
  x: 0,
  y: 0,
  colorIndex: 1
})

// Add grass blade details that tile seamlessly
mcp__aseprite__draw_pixels({
  pixels: [
    // Light grass blades (placed to tile on edges)
    { x: 0, y: 2, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 1, y: 2, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 3, y: 5, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 7, y: 3, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 8, y: 3, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 11, y: 7, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 14, y: 1, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 15, y: 1, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 5, y: 10, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 9, y: 12, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 10, y: 12, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 13, y: 14, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 1, y: 15, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 2, y: 15, colorIndex: 2 },
    { x: 15, y: 8, colorIndex: 2 }, { x: 0, y: 8, colorIndex: 2 },
    // Dark grass shadows
    { x: 2, y: 3, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 6, y: 6, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 10, y: 4, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 4, y: 11, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 12, y: 9, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 8, y: 13, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 14, y: 15, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 0, y: 0, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 15, y: 0, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 0, y: 15, colorIndex: 3 },
    { x: 15, y: 15, colorIndex: 3 }
  ]
})
```

**Result:**
A seamless 16x16 grass tile with varied grass blade details that repeat perfectly when placed adjacent to copies.

**Visual Description:**
The tile shows green grass with lighter and darker blade variations distributed across the surface. The detail pixels are positioned so that when the tile repeats horizontally or vertically, the pattern appears continuous without visible seams.

**Result:**
A detailed treasure chest with wooden texture, metal reinforcement bands, and a prominent gold keyhole.

**Visual Description:**
The chest shows a curved lid at the top with wood grain texture, two metal bands (one on the lid, one on the body), and a central gold keyhole. The wood uses three shades for depth, while the metal bands have highlights. Dark outlines define the structure clearly.

## Summary

This examples collection demonstrates the pixel-art-creator skill's capabilities across various complexity levels:

- **Basic shapes** (Examples 1-4): Simple geometric sprites and icons with clear tool call patterns
- **Layered compositions** (Examples 5-6): Multi-layer sprites with separate editable components
- **Retro/indexed styles** (Examples 7-8): Period-accurate color palettes (Game Boy, NES)
- **Complex scenes** (Examples 9-10): Tiles and detailed objects with intricate pixel work

Each example provides complete MCP tool call syntax that can be adapted for similar projects. The progression from simple to complex helps users understand how to build up sophisticated pixel art using the available tools.
