Bob Kiwi's sprite debut! :3

My brother's birthday is coming up. He's a big retro-gaming fan and also one of the original inspirations for Bob Kiwi, so I made him a 16-bit birthday card. (No, SERIOUSLY. I counted markers and everything.)

Originally Prismacolor markers on textured cardstock, I thought Bob here was cuter sans all the Atari-style text, so I edited it out and shrank the image down to sprite size. (The original's about 3 1/2" square - YES, I MADE IT DISK-SIZED.)

Art style inspired by The New Zealand Story, a.k.a. Kiwi Kraze, which is a grand game if you can find the arcade versions (I have them emulated somewheres) and also, I hear, on the Nintendo DS.

Viva la 80s! :D
