Create three pixel characters for a mobile game

English translation

I'm building a mobile farm game. I need three characters: the protagonist, the general store owner guy, and a village cat. I'll give you one reference image for tone. But that's a "pixel-art style" image, so I can't use it in the game. When enlarged, the edges are blurry and the colors alone number over fifty thousand. It has to be real pixel art. No semi-transparent or blurry edge pixels. It'll be seen small on phone screens, so 48x48, and all three share the same 16-color palette. 3 standing poses, a 4-frame walking animation for the protagonist, and an enlarged image so the pixels are visible.

모바일 농장 게임을 만들고 있어. 주인공, 잡화점 주인 아저씨, 마을 고양이 이렇게 셋이 필요해. 톤 참고용 이미지 하나 줄게. 근데 그건 도트'풍'이라 게임엔 못 써. 확대하면 가장자리가 흐릿하고 색만 오만 개가 넘어. 진짜 도트로. 반투명하거나 흐릿한 가장자리 픽셀 있으면 안 돼. 폰 화면에서 작게 보일 거라 48x48, 셋이 같은 16색 팔레트. 서 있는 자세 3개, 주인공 걷기 4프레임, 픽셀 보이게 확대한 이미지.
