Official Kirby doodles from way back in the day
Back in 1993, a strategy guide for the recently released Kirby's Adventure appeared in Japan. Inside, three of the big men responsible for the new game decided to sketch the little pink puffball. There's contributions by Masahiro Sakurai, the father of the Kirby series; Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's whiz kid; and Satoru Iwata, back when he was the president of HAL Laboratory. It's adorable to see the masters take a crack at doodling such a loveable character. It's also worthy to note that Iwata's doodle looks like sh*t. That makes me laugh for some reason. 1993 Miyamoto, Iwata and Sakurai Draw Kirby [Andriasang] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Sakurai's drawing looks like the 16bits Kirby (I love those fat stars!), while Miyamoto's is like the cover art for the early Kirby games. Iwata's Kirby is usual programmer art. Wow, Sakurai looks really different here. I was able to recognize Iwata and Miyamoto but not him. Awesome to see each of their drawings though. 9:00 AM on 05.15.2013 How eager nipples and a tight thong fought casual sexismHawken publisher Meteor has, in its office, a piece of art featuring a woman with a bountiful underboob and very little in the way of clothing, hung in place by CEO Mark Long.
