Great job! Man, I miss the old school TMNT.

What's she rocking on the walkman? Some Kriss Kross I bet.

"The Mac Dad will make ya' jump jump! The Daddy Mac will make ya' jump jump!"

You just brought back painful memories of wearing my clothes backwards. Arg, the agony! ^_-

Wow, that took me back! Nice job, she looks great. =)

kewl

I always really enjoy your lizard girls :) Which reminds me, i'm pretty excited they are redoing "V", but after watching last week it just made me wish I had the box set of the original.

oh wow she is so cute

I remember her! Oh childhood, where Ninja Turtles was like the bible for people who would later turn out to be super into TF. I mean, the show had it all, furries, TONS of anthro transformations, age regression, shrinking, growth, inflation...the list goes on.

In this instance I'd refer you to the Old TMNTestament, the Book of Mona, Chapter 83 Versus 6-10: "What the heck kinda lizard is Mona Lisa anyway? AND how did she turn into a lizard when there was no mutagen or an animal anywhere around during the explosion that turned a physics whiz into a lizard?"

You know, for a physicist, you would have thought she would have gone for Donatello...

You would think that Donatello would be the natural choice (in my head they are research buddies) but good girls and bad boys just go so well together :P

And yeah, I think eighties/nineties cartoons in general are a goldmine of, shall we say, offbeat subject matter, haha.

Mona is such a lovely character.

Holy crap I was completely unaware of this character, and what an awesome introduction to her. x-D

Diggin' the limb positioning there.

So, wait. Wikipedia tells me the character showed up in exactly one episode, they never brought her back even though it was obvious she was intended initially as a repeating character... and some company made a toy version of her anyway?

They also made a toy version of, like, ace duck and mondo gecko, so I dunno what the reasoning was, there. One of the reasons it would have been nice to have Mona make recurring appearances is the dearth of female mutants on the show. She kind of filled that niche well, without being a carbon copy of an existing turtle with boobs pasted on (see: Venus De Milo and many many fan characters).

I don't think the toy execs at the time realized how many girls loved the show, but it's pretty obvious now that it wasn't just boys rushing to the TV every Saturday.

I think the idea of girls playing with action figures was pretty foreign back then. The assumption was the girls would be more into "My Little Pony."

well, they also made a toy version of usagi yojimbo due to his one appearance on the show.

Mona Lisa!
The only lizard girl I ever thought mattered.
Good to see her get some fan love. :)

Mona Lisa. <3 <3 <3

Quite possibly my first crush.

Unfortunatly, TMNT is now owned by Nickleodeon, so lets see where this goes then....

Anywho, great love for Mona Lisa, but damnit, what's it about Raph. He gets Mona Lisa in the cartoon, and Ninjara in the Archie Comic series. Where's the love for the other brothers...I mean unless April is really that freaky off camera...

Art or physics?

Her textbook is on thermodynamics :3

Ever since art & arch in college, I've always thought it was funny that it's really Michelangelo that was the hotheaded jerk, and Raphael that was the easy-going get along kind of guy. Leonardo and Donatello's characterizations are a little more accurate, or as accurate as pizza eating reptiles can be, haha.

Ah, to not have to wear pants...

Hehe that's so cool, had no idea you were into the show.

Yeah Mona Lisa's the best. For all the efforts they put into fleshing her out I've no idea how she got skipped for being a recurring character.

Sooooooooo cute! Great job.

Raphael Meets His Match!

Best.

Episode.

EVAR.

I think Mona solidified the anthro fandom in my heart long before I knew of the "official" fandom. I searched for YEARS to recapture that episode, and I found a VHS copy totally by chance at a Blockbuster clearance sale. Of course, fast forward several years to YouTube and now who cares...But Mona rocked. And they never used her again (to my knowledge). SUCH A MONUMENTAL WASTE.

Of course, I also fell in love with Archie Comics' TMNT rendition of Ninjara...but that's a whole 'nother ball of fur.

Great work as always, Miss Angrboda. I desperately love your style.

You know, looking back, this really is the best fanart of her I've ever seen.

She's such a cutie!! I live her webbed fingers & toes!
