A stylized faux-pixel-art landscape illustration of a single {argument name="bird species" default="black raven"} standing in profile in a golden wheat field, facing right. The image should look like retro pixel art at first glance when viewed zoomed out, but not be perfectly grid-aligned or true sprite-based pixel art; instead it should feel like painterly image-generation imitating pixel art, with soft inconsistencies in the block shapes and edges. Place the bird large in the foreground, slightly left of center, with glossy near-black feathers shaded in deep navy and indigo, a dark beak, and one small amber-brown eye visible. Surround it with tall yellow-gold grasses and exactly 9 visible small purple wildflower blossoms scattered in the foreground. In the midground, show a broad rural plain with patchy fields and a dark green tree line including a few tall narrow conifers on the right. In the distance, add a low mountain range in muted blue-violet tones. Above, create a bright {argument name="sky color" default="soft blue"} sky filled with large chunky cumulus clouds and a few smaller cloud bands, all rendered in limited-color dithered blocks. Use a warm late-afternoon palette with gold, blue, lavender, and dark charcoal, strong atmospheric depth, and a calm pastoral mood. Full-frame composition, landscape orientation, thin black border around the entire image, crisp blocky edges, retro game background aesthetic, highly detailed but simple, no text, no UI, no extra animals.
