CHALLENGE: April Fools Gallery 2020

Sup pixel-heads? We hope all of you are OK and you don't let the lockdowns get in the way of your creativity! Cause it's once again time for our ever popular yearly April Fools Gallery challenge!

For those who do not know the rules yet, the idea is to study the PJ gallery of another pixel artist. Look at the techniques they use, the colours they pick, the subject matters they gravitate towards, etc... Then once you feel like you have a grasp of that person's style, create an image that will fool us into thinking that it's theirs.

Don't forget to mention the name of your chosen pixel artist in your description!

The challenge will be prolonged for another week?
Or until there will be enough entries?
How does it work?
Sorry for being annoying ;)

@jok; It will be prolonged (same as the last one), don't worry.  You have time for some new entries if you like. Personally, I would love to see it. I couldn't find some spare time to participate, but now we all have a few more days for this, always a popular challenge.

Look at it like a new weekly challenge, with the same deadline, but with entries from the previous week.
