The pixel art image depicts Pickle Rick, a character from the animated series *Rick and Morty*, standing next to a carved Halloween pumpkin. Pickle Rick, a anthropomorphic gherkin, is the primary subject, occupying the majority of the left and center of the frame. He stands upright on two short, bluish-gray legs, his body a textured green, mottled with lighter and darker specks to suggest the pickle's skin. From his back protrude several sharp, light blue spikes, characteristic of his "Pickle Rick" persona. His face, positioned at the top of the pickle, features wide, bloodshot eyes with prominent light brown pupils, and a gaping mouth revealing a row of sharp, uneven teeth. A significant amount of greenish-yellow drool or slime drips from his mouth and chin, adding to a slightly grotesque and unkempt appearance. He has two short arms; his left arm (viewer's right) is bent at the elbow, with a hand featuring three distinct fingers and a thumb, seemingly gesticulating or pointing slightly downwards and to his right. His right arm (viewer's left) is also bent, with a similar hand held slightly aloft, palm facing outwards, as if in a state of mild surprise or expression. Both hands are a similar light blue to his spikes and feet.
To Pickle Rick's right, and slightly in front, rests a small, carved pumpkin, its base resting on the same dark bluish-gray ground as Pickle Rick's feet. The pumpkin is a desaturated green, matching the overall color scheme, and is carved with a classic jagged-toothed smile and two triangular eyes, giving it a somewhat sinister or mischievous expression.
The entire composition is set against a stark, pure black background, which serves to make the characters pop and emphasizes their distinct shapes and colors. The color palette is dominated by greens (various shades of olive, lime, and forest green for Pickle Rick and the pumpkin), light blues (for Pickle Rick's extremities and spikes), and a light yellowish-brown for his drool and eye pupils. There are also very dark bluish-gray tones used for shading and the ground. The overall color scheme is somewhat muted and earthy, leaning into a slightly sickly green and blue combination, which suits the character's typical appearance.
The overall vibe of the image is quirky and slightly unsettling, fitting the dark humor often found in *Rick and Morty*. The combination of Pickle Rick's wild expression, dripping slime, and the Halloween pumpkin evokes a sense of macabre fun or a slightly unhinged Halloween aesthetic. It feels like a fan-art tribute, capturing a specific character in a thematic context.
