February 14, 2016 was the 25th anniversary of the Amiga release of Lemmings. So, this week's challenge is to create an image using these Lemmings colours:



It can be a mockup, a sprite, a scene, whatever. Your image does not need to relate to Lemmings.

You must use all of the colours shown above. As well as those three colours, you may also use transparency and/or pure black (#000000). But no other colours besides those.

Canvas Size - Max 320 x 200
Colours - Min 3; max 5.
Transparency - Optional.

Hexquisite Corpse on Pixelation is open.
 

According to the Chinese Zodiac, this is the Year of the Fire Monkey.

So this week, create an image based on that theme; it could be a monkey made out of fire, a monkey that's on fire, a monkey that breathes fire, etc...

Keep in mind that monkeys are not the same as apes. Generally, the rule of thumb is that monkeys have tails and apes don't.

Canvas Size - Max 150 (width) x 200 (height).
Colours - Max 16.
Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.
