Batch Generation

        print(f"Generating: {desc}...")
        url = generate_pixel_art(desc, style)
        results[desc] = url
    return results

# Usage
items = ["wizard staff", "magic potion", "ancient scroll"]
batch_results = generate_batch(items, "8-bit")

Notes

• Model: flux-pro/v1.1 (best balance of quality and cost)
• Size: 1024x1024 (can scale down for true pixel look)
• Styles: 8-bit, 16-bit, modern
• Prompt engineering matters — be specific about style
