Here we have the Half Man half Pepsi AKA CanMan
He spends most of his time getting drunk
Quote from: Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent
"You'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water."

This is my entry - an elfin woman and snail. I would call her elfisnailus.
EDIT:
Here is the better graphic of less 30 colours. Thank you SSH ;)

x2 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/rebelsnail/snailtaur2xLess30.gif) (this might not be so perfect, looking a bit pixellated but that is what happens when it is resized from small to big and I am unsure of how to make it 'less than 30' as I said in a post down below I am confused with the meaning of 30 colours and so on - I will learn though ;) )
EDIT2: Thank you for your advice Gilbot :) that is much appreciated, I agree it does seem that jpeg does mess up the colour count. I have deleted my original images and am using the fixed up ones that SSH did for me as I don't want to make a new sprite at this stage, as I am happy with the elvinsnailus one and am grateful to SSH for the conversion to less than 30 colours :). I have learnt something new once again. So now this is my formal entry.
3119 colours is slightly over the 30 limit... here's a reduced version:

Thanks SSH :) yeah I had realised after I posted, that it may have been over 30 colours but I wasnt too sure what 30 colours really mean - at this stage I am a bit confused by the definition as there are so many graphics that seem to use more than 30 colours (not in this thread tho lol, but elsewhere different sites different places etc), so thanks for fixing that up. Shall that fixed version be included in the competition? Shall I repost as a modified one?
Well, especially when you posted your image in JPEG format, which would mess up the colour count anyway even if you originally drew it with no more than 30 colours (due to compression).
I think it's okay to use that colour-reduced image as your entry, but it's your own choice, if you feel like making another sprite which keep with the rules yourself feel free to do so, but then the new sprite would be used as your entry and your former one discarded.
Frisby is the man!
7+1 colors the lion man.
