I use Pixatool for the dithering and crt/scanline effect exclusively. I'm not affiliated with any of those links in case anyone is wondering, just bought them and use them even before I got into AI imagen.
So have a look if you're at all interested in this stuff it works so well with SD imagen in this style made possible by these amazing freely shared models. It's all done automatically mostly, in a few clicks and gets you results that are stunning even if you can't personally create in this style at all but still enjoy the aesthetic or need it for your project. But the thing is, when your base image is already very very close to being actual pixel art in style, this stuff works miracles with it and brings out the next level. A lot of this stuff is turned around the idea that you take your base image and "pixelize" it then work with it to animate. The workflow is to take the output of AI like this (I used MJ for this earlier on before SD) and to make it work as actual pixel art that you can use in gamedev or various other purposes.
Here are the ones I use for this that work beautifully combined with SD's pixel style output as shown here by your model: All with a few clicks and maybe an hour of youtube tutorials for each app. You'll be able to get proper dithering in many styles, 1 to 1 ratio for screen res concerns, even scanlines and crt effects overlaid on top of this output as well as standardized traditional color palettes from 8 bit all the way up. Save/Load Presets and custom palette if any.Hope you don't mind but I'm going to drop a couple links to some 3rd party and indie apps here for people that would want to take this kind of output and almost effortlessly transform it into "pixel perfect" stuff without teaching themselves that artform.Exports Image and Video at 1280x720 max resolution.With Ctrl pressed, on pick color, sets auto next color slot.Create your own 32 color palette (Saved with presets).Set palettes: NES, Gameboy, CPC, C64, Pico8, and DB16.Open files from local/internet or dropping in the app.Dither Blur available for overall dithering.Dither modes: Normal, Additive, XOR, and Source Atop.Bayer Dithering: 2x4x8x for Predefined and Custom pals.Overall Dithering: Checks, Dots, Triangles, and Stripes.Add/Remove RGB values from the overall image.Pixelate image until 12x (Separated Width/Height).Special FX: ASCII-ART, Radial and Hexagonal Pixelation.Basic FX: Contrast, Brightness, Sharpen, Blur, and Gamma.All features supported on Win/Mac/Linux.All effects works with the palette colors limitation.Also PixaTool is able to convert images into ASCII/ANSI art exported in images (.PNG). Pixatool allows you to get 8bit/Pixel style images or videos, optimize your PixelArt or just adding some cool effects.
