I'm just going to be upfront with this one. I somehow misread that the challenge said to do three characters when in reality I actually did four of them. So, that's all on me. I'm still submitting this to the weekly challenge, but if it gets omitted from the challenge because of this then I understand. Another thing with this piece, it may look like I've added an 8th color, but I'm actually using the 7th one as transparency - and I do use it for all of the characters to give off the feeling of there being more colors. Finally, the term clown is used very loosely in this context. Nonetheless, this was still a very fun piece to do and it's really teaching me what I can do with a such limited palette and resolution. I think having tried to do the previous balloon challenge as an entire animation helped me pixel this one faster even though it is only a still - aside from the preview.
