So.. what is this large silhouette on the left? A mountain? Some ancient ruins? A sleeping giant? It's up to you.

Rules:
1. No resizing, flipping or rotating.
2. Minor outline alterations are allowed.
3. Only a part of the picture is subject for this competition (the large shape on the horizon - look below), but you are free to color the whole picture if you like =)

And if you don't want to color the full picture:

Good luck and have fun!

Edit: Trophies!

johnnyfreak... are you SURE this is pixel art? It looks like you used the blur tool on it. Sorry if im wrong.

Jakerpot. The mere use of a blurring tool does not yet disqualify a picture from being called pixel art. Actually, the use of filters and tools other than plain brush or pencil is rather common among pixel artists, at least from what I've noticed.

Great entries everybody, I was hoping to see some unusual ideas and here they are :)

That's interesting: the picture of this coloring ball also inspired me something related to flames.
So I present you a burning palace:

I'm not sure if it can be named pixelart. I've done it only with the pen on MSPaint but, as i didn't know how to make that thing "hairy", i used a photoshop air brush.
I have not seen any restriction on using it, otherwise i'll edit my entry replacing it with the plain pixels and higlights version.
I didn'use any filter or blur.

Sorry if i misunderstood the competition and for my english :P

johnnyfreak, there is no such restriction. You made a perfectly valid entry.
