The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A minimal pixel art icon of a small dog, drawn as a single blue outline on a plain warm grey ground. Built from as few pixels as the shape allows, roughly thirty by thirty, with no fill, no shading, no dithering and no anti aliasing. Every pixel deliberate, crisp square pixels, generous empty space around the subject.
