The pixel art image depicts a single subject, the iconic character Sonic the Hedgehog, presented in a classic, side-view pose. Sonic is shown standing upright, facing left with a slight tilt of his head upwards. His left arm is bent at the elbow, resting at his side with his white-gloved hand clenched loosely. His right arm is not visible from this angle, likely behind his body. His mouth is curved into a small, confident smile, and his large, green eyes are looking forward. His ears are perked up, and his signature blue quills spike outwards behind his head and back. There is no background or environment depicted; the subject is placed against a solid black void, emphasizing his form. The dominant colors are a vibrant blue for Sonic's fur, bright yellow for his muzzle and the center of his ears, a light flesh tone for his eyes with black pupils, white for his gloves and socks, and striking red for his shoes with white straps and soles. A darker blue is used for shading on his fur and shirt-like torso area. The overall color scheme is bold and contrasts sharply with the black background, leaning towards a primary and secondary color palette that is immediately recognizable for the character. The overall vibe is energetic and confident, capturing Sonic's well-known adventurous spirit and cool demeanor. There are no additional details, text, or UI elements present.
