         | 
         | and Ditherdragon (https://winterveil.itch.io/ditherdragon)
         | which uses special downscaling algos to turn that into
         | astoundingly good Pixelart.

       | The previous pixel AI I'd seen had this really awkward pillow
       | shaded art-style but this is much better.
