9 YEARS!!!!!

Undertale's been etched into my soul for almost a decade now... I don't think there's one piece of art i could make to encapsulate how important it is to me... but i CAN make pretty colours about it 🌈💫✨

Took a bit of time to myself to finally sketch out my vision for Frida based off Andy Suriano’s Farewell. More design thoughts under the cut.

I know some were wary of her appearing too feminine, but honestly I enjoyed the challenge of finding a way to feminize the base turtle model and stay true to Andy’s wonderful design. I don’t want her to just look like her brothers in a show that embraces their differences.

The biggest thing I added to her design was an exposed heart. My own little twist inspired by a real life issue some turtles deal with as well as a fitting ode to the artist she is named after, Frida Kahlo, who often drew herself with her heart floating outside of her body. (And yes I made the creative decision to keep her heart at her center as with many turtles.)

This deformity occurred during her mutation where the sudden growth spurt tore open a hole at the seam of her plastron. She has survived as long as she has because of Big Mama who uses mystic wards to keep her heart physically safe and emotionally numb. If you look closely to her plastron in the show it’s not actually a natural body part but rather seems to be an attachment of her trench coat. Likely a false cover to hide her obvious weak spot (or at least that is my head canon!)

I love the idea of her and Donnie having something they can relate to and I’m sure he’ll be happy to design chest armor for her down the line once she’s free of Big Mama. Maybe someday I’ll figure out her full Mad Dogs outfit, but for now this is just her base and bandana.

As each of the boys embodies a shape, I found it all too fitting to have Frida’s be a heart. It’s honestly a cool shape that uses both rounded forms and sharp points, which I think would encapsulate her character well. Prickly on the surface but a softy deep down. I tried to find less typical ways of feminizing her. Sharpening her beak and digits while retaining the style of feminine eyes present in most of the female cast but matching it more closely to the unsettling shape of the eyes on her assistant’s mask.

Her markings are a color flip of Mikey’s, where as his are yellow spots with orange outlines hers are orange with yellow outlines. Coupled with her yellow eyes to match Donnie and Raph, it gives her this fiery vibe that I think still sets her far apart from Mikey.

The mask was honestly the hardest part. I love that it further accentuates her heart motif and made her more expressive, but just giving her the obvious bow and calling it a day did not sit well with me. I decided to try more of a high ponytail look, but I think it still needs some work. I’m pretty sure I like her with yellow though, both as a nod to Jennika and the idea of April giving her something of her own to help form the bond between the two.

Would love to flesh her out further but back to my usual stuff first.

Some quick little mystery sister doodles

I really really (two reallys) wanna know what species of turtle she is!!! Please tell us!!

Also, since we don't know what she looks like without her clothes, I just kinda improvised the markings lmao she looked too boring without anything on her arms and legs

No way Frida is gonna have that cape and shoulder pads on the whole time, right?

I also made a ref sheet for my own interpretation of Frida without her cloak

Okay regarding mystery sister's turtle species!

I got a ton of comments regarding what type of turtle she could be on that last post I made, and I wanted to bring up some of the more likely options! (Also, I'm gonna call the sister Frida cuz that's probably her name)

One of the most popular guesses is that Frida is a yellow bellied slider, cuz, y'know, yellow. Also it'd be fun to have two sliders in the family maybe lmao

Another popular theory is that she's a box turtle like Mikey (they do look a pretty similar honestly) in which case specifically the eastern box turtle or the florida box turtle could be the more likely options

Bog turtle! The markings on the face remind me a lot of Frida's markings so I think this one makes a lot of sense, personally

And lastly we have the spotted turtle, more yellow markings which would fit Frida's deisgn.

Honestly I'm having a hard time deciding on which species I wanna headcanon her as until when (or if) we get a confirmation, I'm kinda vibing with all of these lol.

Actually, I MIGHT be a bit more partial towards bog turtle or some type of box turtle, but I'm flexible
