A digital illustration featuring a central cartoonish character resembling a scarecrow or ghostly figure. The character has a round black face with intense glowing red eyes, giving an ominous expression. Its mouth is framed by uneven, jagged edges in dark red-brown, creating a hollow appearance. The figure's head is covered with a tattered hooded garment in shades of maroon and dark brown, with uneven edges and spikes along the bottom, adding to its spooky look. A bright yellow staff or stick with smooth texture and rounded ends diagonally crosses behind the character from upper left to lower right, adding dynamic movement to the composition. The background consists of a smooth gradient transitioning from deep blue at the top to lighter lavender towards the bottom, providing high contrast and making the central elements stand out sharply. The style is characterized by bold colors, high saturation, and even lighting, resulting in a striking visual effect that emphasizes the eerie mood of the illustration.
