CHALLENGE: An Unexpected Guest



And so Pixelween 2025 begins...

The first spooky theme is An Unexpected Guest.

You will be creating a horizontal landscape on this theme. The following weeks will attach to the previous weeks' entries on the right hand side. So to summarize: a horizontal landscape panorama going from left to right.

Who will your unexpected guest be? What are they a guest for? Where are they a guest for? So many questions. Will we get answers?

 
Technical requirements for this week:
Canvas Size - exactly 64 (horizontal) x 96 (vertical) pixels.
Colors - Max 19, use the palette https://lospec.com/palette-list/azahar-streets - Azahar Streets by ParadoxWhimsy
