## ALTERNATIVE PROMPTS (If First Attempt Doesn't Work)

### If AI generates portraits instead of skin templates:

**Try adding this to the beginning of each prompt:**
```
64x64 pixel Minecraft skin texture sheet layout with all 6 views (front, back, left side, right side, top, bottom) arranged in standard Minecraft format. 
```

### If output lacks pixel art style:

**Try emphasizing:**
```
Strict pixel art grid, blocky voxel style, no anti-aliasing, hard edges, retro 8-bit aesthetic.
```

### If colors are wrong:

**Try being more explicit:**
```
Color palette MUST use exact hex codes: [list specific hex codes]. No color blending or gradients.
```

## POST-GENERATION WORKFLOW

1. **Download all three images from fal.ai**
2. **Inspect results:**
   - Is it in Minecraft skin template format? (64x64 with proper layout)
   - Are colors accurate to prompts?
   - Is it pixel art style (no gradients)?
   
3. **Import to Nova Skin editor** (novaskin.me)
   - Upload the AI-generated image
   - Use "Import from image" feature
   - Verify all body parts are properly mapped
   
4. **Make adjustments:**
   - Fix any misaligned pixels
   - Adjust colors if needed
   - Clean up artifacts
   
5. **Export:**
   - Download as .png
   - Name files: `the-wizard-frost-skin.png`, `the-emissary-fire-skin.png`, `the-catalyst-arcane-skin.png`
   
6. **Test in Minecraft:**
   - Upload to minecraft.net profile
   - Log into server
   - Verify appearance

## TROUBLESHOOTING

**Problem:** AI generates character portraits, not skin templates  
**Solution:** Use alternative prompt with "64x64 pixel texture sheet layout" emphasized

**Problem:** Colors don't match  
**Solution:** Edit in Nova Skin, use color picker with exact hex codes

**Problem:** Format is wrong (not Minecraft-compatible)  
**Solution:** Use Nova Skin's "Create from scratch" and reference AI image for design inspiration

**Problem:** Too much detail/gradients (not pixel art)  
**Solution:** Simplify in Nova Skin editor, flatten colors to solid blocks
