Necromancer Pixel Art Comparison

Create a dark fantasy pixel-art character comparison on a wide horizontal canvas with a charcoal-black background and a subtle dark gray border. Show exactly 2 full-body necromancer figures side by side: the left figure is a softer near-pixel-art/mixel version, and the right figure is a crisper pixelated version with stronger black contours and clearer blocky edges. Both figures depict the same undead wizard: a hooded skeletal necromancer in layered, tattered robes, holding a twisted wooden staff topped with a blue ghost flame. The left figure has an obscured shadowy blank face under the hood, while the right figure has a visible skull face with hollow eye sockets and bared teeth. The character wears a deep {argument name="robe color" default="midnight blue and muted purple"} hooded robe with ragged hems, layered sleeves, torn trailing cloth strips, bone-like chest armor, a rope-and-leather belt, dangling gold ornaments, a central oval blue gemstone, small pouches, and exposed skeletal hands and feet. Each figure holds exactly 1 gnarled staff in the left hand; each staff has exactly 1 blue flame surrounded by twisted branches, with small hanging charms and bead-like ornaments. The right hand of each figure is raised in a spellcasting gesture with splayed skeletal fingers. Use a limited pixel-art palette, high contrast rim shadows, muted brown wood, bone ivory skeleton details, dark navy folds, and glowing electric-blue flame highlights. Keep the pose nearly identical between the 2 figures, centered vertically, with the left character slightly softer and painterly and the right character more sharply pixelated. No text, no labels, no watermark, no extra characters, no background scenery beyond the flat dark backdrop.
