Generates a 4×4 pixel-art sprite sheet of a cute apple mascot typing on a laptop for GIF-style animation use.
Goal: Create a cute pixel-art sprite sheet for a GIF animation featuring a glossy red apple mascot working on a silver laptop with a white apple logo.
Canvas: Square white background, clean margin, arranged as an exact 4×4 grid with 16 separate sprites. Each sprite is the same character at roughly the same scale, front-facing three-quarter view, with the laptop in front. Use crisp low-resolution pixel art, chunky black outlines, no shadows on the background, bright saturated colors, and transparent-looking white spacing between cells.
Character details: The character is a round shiny red apple with a brown stem, red highlights, tiny red hands, and oversized thick black square glasses. Keep the laptop open in every frame, positioned at the lower left/front of the apple. Make the style expressive, sticker-like, and suitable for animation frames.
Sprite count and poses: Include exactly 16 sprites in a 4-row by 4-column layout, left to right and top to bottom: 1) neutral focused face, round open eyes, small smile, one hand near keyboard; 2) similar focused typing pose with slightly different hand position; 3) happy closed-eye smile while typing; 4) calm open-eyed smile; 5) surprised concentration with widened eyes and small straight mouth, motion lines by hands; 6) worried typing with wide eyes and hand vibration lines; 7) anxious shocked face with furrowed brow, open mouth, shaking glasses, fast typing motion lines; 8) more intense panic, big round eyes, furrowed brows, trembling motion lines; 9) squeezed-shut eyes, alarmed open mouth, blue sweat drops, one hand raised; 10) extreme panic with glasses lifted crooked above eyes, huge open mouth, both hands raised, blue sweat drops; 11) shocked scream with one lens/side of glasses tilted upward, wide eyes, raised arms, sweat drops; 12) panic scream with glasses still on, eyes huge, raised hand, sweat drops; 13) exhausted sad face with drooping eyelids, small frown, grey sigh cloud to the left; 14) relieved but nervous smile with one blue sweat drop on forehead; 15) playful wink with small smile, relaxed typing; 16) final calm happy open-eyed smile, similar to the starting pose.
Visual style: Retro game sprite sheet, 32-bit pixel art feeling, glossy highlights on the apple, thick black outlines, subtle dithering and blocky pixel edges, cute emoji-like expressions, minimal props besides the laptop, motion lines drawn as pixel strokes.
Constraints: Do not add text labels, frame numbers, borders, watermarks, or extra characters. Keep exactly 16 discrete apple-laptop sprites in the grid.
