Style: chunky 32x32 pixel art scaled up, every pixel a hard 32x32 px block snapped to the 32 px grid (block edges on multiples of 32), no anti-aliasing, no gradients, 1-block black outlines, flat warm countryside 16-colour palette, matching the attached base exactly.
Pose: base faces straight at the viewer; its raised left-side fist (viewer's left) is held out to the side, clear of the body, grip centre at (112, 620), fist spanning x 64-192, y 544-704, forearm continuing down to about y 900.
Placement: each item is GRIPPED in that fist: the handle/shaft passes vertically through the fist at about x 96-160, and the fingers are redrawn over the handle in the base's skin colour (#F4B27C-style peach) with black block outlines so it is clearly held. Long tools (pitchfork, shovel) stand upright: working end above the fist up to about y 160-320, shaft running down past the fist toward y 900-1024 alongside the forearm.
Corn cob and carrot stick up out of the top of the fist, about y 352-576 (carrot green tops may reach y 320). Watering can hangs from the fist by its top handle with the can body below the fist, about x 0-256, y 640-896, spout pointing left (may crop at the left edge). Keep every item left of x 288 so nothing covers the chest, neck or face; items may run off the left edge.
Colours come from the item (wood brown, iron grey, galvanised tin, painted green/red can, yellow corn kernels with green husk, orange carrot with green tops), never from the skin.
Variants (12, clearly different shape/colour): 1 wooden pitchfork with iron tines, 2 golden three-prong pitchfork (rare), 3 yellow corn cob in green husk, 4 roasted dark-kernel corn cob, 5 orange carrot with leafy top, 6 purple heritage carrot, 7 green tin watering can, 8 red tin watering can, 9 galvanised grey watering can, 10 wooden spade shovel with steel blade, 11 rusty old shovel, 12 golden shovel (rare). Only the item and gripping fingers; nothing behind the character.
