Pixel a character that looks like he's from the Old West: Cowboys, gunslingers, cattle ranchers, prostitutes, sheriffs, etc. No bigger than an old school screen size of 320x200. :P

There's a catch though:

 -  You are required to use only colors from the EGA palette!

                             

 -  Extra cookies for animations(swinging a rope, gun tricks)
 -  A big marshmallow for an EGA background
 -  Oreos if you do both!

You have 'till 19th of May to submit your entries. Alright, ready? Set? DRAW!

Spoiler
Tee hee, see what I did there?

Hmmm... not in any way inspired by this topic are you? ;)

I like it, also the 16 color twist.

There's one color missing in that palette.
Here's a template:

Khris you're right, I used a blue color twice. Fixed.

Heh I have no idea why, but I really like this pallete for some reason. It reminds me of MI1 in 16 colors. Dithering, dithering and more dithering!

Great entries so far, I hope I didn't discourage people by restricting you to only 16 colors, it should be more than enough! ;)

Man, this is hard. I never made something with so little colours before. Hopefully I have something ready before the deadline...

Captain Ricco

I was goin' to make a background and a duel with hay balls and all, but, nah, maybe if i get inspired later ill do it!



Mad

There you go:

     

Actually wanted to animate her, but couldn't be bothered... far too fiddly

Animate the cowboys in the foreground :-)
...Or the stage's curtain!
 

Pixelton

Thought I'd give it ago, never done anything in this pallet and it really interested me in giving this a good crack :)

On a side not...damn its tough!



I think Mad's entry kicks some serious ass though!

Not an entry, but...I just like the guy. =D

Hey man, is that like pixel art, or is just a photo with a posterize filter?
   

Jim Reed

It's a pic, I just made it use the provided palette, with a few additional tinkerings.
