I'm pretty sure you follow me on my main blog... where I've posted avm art for like 2 year ^^;

He’s a Leo. You thought I wasn’t gonna make him weak to puns?

So back around the same time I made the original concept for the Dark Rise Turtles, I discovered a old pilot episode for a show called ‘Space Usagi’ that featured Usagi Yojimbo in a futuristic/sci-fi setting. I became enamored by the concept and decided to take some inspiration from TMNT 2012 season 4 and just make something of that!

In the end, I made the Space Ranger Au!

It takes the 2012 turtles and makes it so they’re kind of like… traveling “Han solos” just doing whatever they can to survive. Yes, they have a mission of locating a lost family heirloom after it was stolen and their home planet was blown up, and no it wasn’t earth lol.

There are some concepts that I want to change, but there are also some I really like!

Leo is blind, but has a device that helps him see through a method of spiritual echolocation

Donnie has a prosthetic leg.

Raph is missing an eye but got a robotic replacement

Mikey doesn’t have a missing body part. He’s just baby.

Another aspect is that I joined together Space Usagi cast to be almost a mercenary group that was hired to track down and capture Leo and his brothers. A fun back and forth that I really enjoyed exploring. (Obviously I’m sure the names are incorrect but bear with me, these are old drawings!)

I had some points and story beats, but I’m gonna scrap most of them and remake it from the ground up because I’m a better writer now lol!

Anyway, I will definitely redraw their designs to update them, but it’ll take time. For now, have some old assorted doodles I made of the au!

These won’t be the last drawings I ever make, I promise. Just the last none comic doodles. I got some stuff I wanna do and it’s gonna be great!

Tekku's name is just katakana, which is what Japanese uses for foreign loanwords

it's literally just the English word "tech" thrown through the Japanese way syllables are pronounced, it's not a direct translation into a kanji term like Nishi, Waru and Yasei are

figured you should be made aware that Tekku's just a loanword

I did some mild poking around and get this-their word for "electronic" is "Denshi", which you could use to reinforce the twin dynamic because they both end in -shi

It's your call obviously, just my two cents

Yeah, I had a feeling that their names weren't exactly accurate as I legit just shoved words into a translate app that wasn't Google Translate lol.

It was also like 8 years ago when I did this so I'm not super shocked they're incorrect.

Regardless, I am quite grateful you took the time to do a little digging to find a replacement name that still made sense and had extra little matching things!

Although I probably won't change Tekku's name as it holds more sentimental value at this point, I won't let the name "Denshi" go to waste as I kinda do like the matching endings.

I'll probably use it as a name Nashi used to use to get Tekku's attention for annoyance reasons when they were young but stopped after his eye incident in the Turtle Tots timeline.
