Drawing Contest #2: Unusual Cowboys
Update: This contest is now closed. Check out the entries!
Hurray! Here comes the second drawing contest!
The idea is inspired from the recently released game Red Dead Redemption and the soon to be released Toy Story 3.

Theme
The theme is Unusual Cowboys (or Cowgirls if you prefer). There are two criteria.
1. For the unusual part, well, you can't draw a human. That still leaves a lot of things you can draw, like animals, robots, aliens, monsters or even mythical beings.
2. For the cowboy part, you have to include something to help the audience to identify that it's a cowboy. The most obvious would be the iconic hat but it can be anything.
Prizes
There will be two winners. You get to choose from one of the three books as your prize.
- Exodyssey: Visual Development of an Epic Adventure by Steambot Studios
- Alien Race: Visual Development of an Intergalactic Adventure
- The Skillful Huntsman

Cethal, RGB is usually what
Cethal, RGB is usually what you use-do in photoshop and similar image editing programs. The images of a digital camera are RGB. The other option is CYMK, but that is for printing, and usually -unless you are a designer- you are not going to use that for nothing. So don't worry, just draw in the program you like.

@Cethal
In short, RGB colour mode contains colours that are more suitable for display on the screen.
There should be a RGB drawing palette with colour swatches on most drawing program.
