CHALLENGE: Lucky Lock

This challenge will include a lot of continuations. We are continuing the chain of challenges, as it is also based on the idea by Umbohr, and it is also about the hair. But we are also continuing the joking nature of the April Fools challenge by building the challenge on a joke from Secret Santa's likes and dislikes list. Particularly the Space-Age Wrangler's likes list, which included "a lock of Gawrone's hair".

Draw a sprite of a lock of hair as a game item. It may be a talisman, a potion ingredient, or a quest "key" item. It can be tied with a beautiful ribbon, braided, kept on a base or under a glass dome, petrified in a magical crystal, or just treated as a piece of trash that shopkeepers will buy for 0 gold.

But challenges must be challenging, so you have to use the https://lospec.com/palette-list/gawr8 - gawr8 palette. You can add a subtle animation of a bounce or shine, but it is not a requirement.

 

Canvas Size: Exactly 64x64.
Colours: Max. 9 (palette + transparency).
Transparency: required.
Animation: optional.
