2026.07.08






Maplestory prompts are designed to recreate the cute SD characters, warm color palettes, and fantasy world of Maplestory using AI image generators. Maplestory is a 2D side-scrolling MMORPG known for its big-headed chibi characters, oversized weapons, and bright colors. To reproduce this style with AI, you need to precisely specify proportions, line art, and color palettes.
Specify SD proportions. Use "big head, small body, chibi proportions, 1:1.5 head-to-body ratio" for the signature cute look. For line art, use "clean black outlines, flat 2D coloring, cel-shaded" to capture the 2D game feel. For colors: "bright saturated colors, warm palette, vibrant greens and blues." For weapons: "oversized weapon, giant sword, oversized staff" to emphasize the exaggerated size.
Warrior: "Maplestory-style warrior, chibi proportions, giant sword, armor with skull emblem, bright red hair, green forest background, 2D game art." Mage: "Maplestory-style mage, oversized wizard hat, glowing staff, purple robes, sparkly magic effects, starry background." Town scene: "Maplestory town scene, cozy village, mushroom houses, NPC characters, warm afternoon lighting, 2D side-scrolling perspective."
Avoid 3D rendering. Use "2D flat art, no 3D rendering" to maintain the Maplestory feel. Keep backgrounds bright and warm: "warm color temperature, soft ambient light." Character expressions should be "cute expression, big eyes, small smile." Monsters should be "cute monster design, round shapes, friendly appearance" to match Maplestory's adorable monster aesthetic.
