A pair of baby-blue eyes sparkle above a yellow beak, like a fawn seeing snow for the first time. The softest turtle face looks as warm as butter in the spring, his cheeks rosy summer apples and his shell shaped like a friend. Yet despite his patient smile of a teacher, there is always that small tweak of concern and mischief that all koopas share.

Continuing the Disco Elysium portraits, here was one I was most excited to see  jamescorck do, mostly to help him practice drawing koopas more. I'm especially a big fan of the papery outline he gave him to look a little closer towards the Paper Mario aesthetic. His expression and dialogue are meant to be in response to FG's portrait and dialogue in the first of this set.
