Low PolyCharmingly few polygons.
Flat-shaded polygon figures stand in a matte 3D scene, with pixelated textures warping across faces and fog cutting off the distance in one hard line.
Make it yoursA good fit for
Retro game soundtracks, chiptune albums, and lo-fi electronic records.
A little art direction
In the notes describe a simple scene with a foreground figure and a mid-distance object for the fog to swallow. Avoid asking for realism or shine; the charm lives in the blockiness.

An album · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstThermalsRead the exact prompt
Create a finished square album cover, in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Produce the front cover artwork itself, without a vinyl sleeve, jewel case, shelf, or room mockup. COVER TEXT Use the following release information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the cover; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra text. Artist: Kestrel Title: Thermals Label: Tallow Works Recordings ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Low Poly style. Visual vocabulary: each polygon face is a single flat, completely unshaded colour — no highlight, no gradient within a face; zero reflections or specularity on any surface — fully matte throughout; textures visibly pixelated at 64×64 resolution, warping across polygon edges; hard, unconvincing shadows — a dark polygon beneath figures, nothing more; distance fog as an abrupt flat colour cutoff, not a smooth gradient. Lettering direction: chunky geometric sans-serif suggesting early 3D UI; drop shadows or emboss effects typical of PS1-era menus; bold, simple, high contrast against dark backgrounds. Suggested colors: flat, unshaded polygon colours — vivid but matte; no metallic or iridescent tones. Composition: 3D scene with foreground polygon figures; abrupt fog plane cutting off mid-ground; void or flat-colour sky. Atmosphere: uncanny, naive, lo-fi, earnestly primitive. Keep out of the design: specular highlights or reflections of any kind, ambient occlusion or global illumination, normal maps or bump maps adding surface detail, smooth gradient fog — it must cut off abruptly, modern PBR (physically based rendering) materials, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A polygon kestrel gliding over blocky cliffs, fog cutting off the sea below. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the artist name and title the strongest text elements and keep all other text minimal and small, as on a real record sleeve. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
