Mutant disks.

Bunzo looks like a cross between striped Frisbees and amoebas. It’s as if the plastic disks are replicating by division!

I decided to make each section a different color, according to the most prevalent color in that particular area of the tile. I was a little worried because there were so many colors, but I think, in the end, it all came together and worked out well.

I was worried that even with all the color, the tile was still too plain, so I added a few contrasting colored metallic dots around the outside edge in a few places. They really made a big difference and did a good job of finishing off the design!
