## Prompt

```text
Create a 3:2 wide pixel-art landscape in the style of a 1990s console JRPG background: a quiet roadside motel scene at sunset with crisp hand-placed pixels, a limited muted palette, no anti-aliasing, and subtle retrowave / vaporwave atmosphere. The foreground shows an asphalt road intersection with a white zebra crossing and cracked pavement. On the right, place a pink retro two-door sedan parked beside the road, partly cropped by the edge of the frame. Above it, a large elevated yellow billboard sign reads {billboard_text} in faint block letters, mounted on a tall pole with dark pixel shadows and braces. Near the center, include one tall utility pole with a small transformer crossbar and dangling wires. Add two small roadside signs in front of the car: one narrow sign with a red symbol and one diagonal stripe sign. The midground contains dry beige grass, low motel-like buildings, fences, and a dense row of dark evergreen trees. The left side has exactly 2 prominent pine trees: one very tall tree at the far left edge and one smaller tree just right of it. The background features layered blue-green mountains with a large central peak, set under a pink-to-gray sky filled with large golden cream clouds. Use {sky_color_mood}, {car_color}, {overall_palette}, and {art_style}. Keep the image purely environmental with no people, no modern UI, no watermark, and maintain visible square pixel structure throughout.
```
