#ngl it was nice to turn off my brain and just do some quick draws and paints #this close to giving OoTS Venus the Selena Bustier #that's quintanilla-perez to lay that down so the people know #finding brushes that ape what Mora used was a pain tho #technically cheated on it because I already had a design for MM and Bay #included the MMPR crossover cuz Venus was there Gandalf #3000 years ago for the FIRST power rangers crossover #Next Mutation and Power Rangers: in Space did it first #not to be confused with Power Rangers Lost Galaxy or SPD #I still stand by Rise Venus as a softshell #because let's get it on record correctly #her name was Mei Pieh Chi #and awkward wade-giles romanization aside #...actually her name is a bit of a linguistic mess #but Splinter did clarify her name is supposed to translate as “beautiful turtle of energy” #...which... is... an odd naming sty--ANYWAY #the hanzi used for Pieh is understood to refer specifically to 'softshell turtle' #so nyeh #also there's spiny softshell and smooth softshells native to North America #apalone mutica baby! #god I hope her story continues past 150 in IDW #i waited so long to see her again #PLS #good things for my precious daughter Venus i plea i pray #also rainbowfoxes is right #the MMPR cross over is from BOOM! Studios not IDW #we strive to credit properly in this house
