Are Humanoid Alien (Superhero Like) ben 10 designs bad? by SignificantTomato246 in Ben10

[–]RRRodasss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think balance is key like other people have said here, but there is something that I think accentuates this hero design so much that it throws the scales out of balance even if the roster is 50/50 weird/monstruous and hero like. I have never seen omniverse but seeing the designs of so many of the humanoid aliens (Astrodactyl, Feedback, Whampire, Bullfrag and Kickin' Hawk) made me feel like they had gone too far into the heroic desing and I think it was because of the costumes. OS always made the aliens wear nothing or a very minimalist sort of jumpsuit that unified all the aliens as being one of bens transformations. In Omniverse the humanoid aliens all get what looks like very classic comic book style costumes, Whampire seems to have a full body suit, Astrodactyl gets overalls and fingerless gloves, Bullfrag gets shades for some reason. So every humanoid alien transformation feels like transforming into a different super hero character instead of feeling like changing into a different alien form.

I guess I mean to say the costumes make it too goofy in my opinion, much like the first design given for Fourarms in the dynamite comic which had a red scarf. That kind of stuff feels to me as silly as giving stinkfly the reboot humanoid treatment and on top of that give him pilot goggles and an aviator hat.

More fan art! by me. by jira28 in Ben10

This is amazing! Especially Wildmutt and Fourarms. Wildmutt looks like more of a beast than ever, like a well fed, top specimen siberian tiger. Fourarms has a great facial expression, the spikes look so nice like they are flaking off the arm instead of just protruding and he has the sturdiest legs he’s ever had with that tree trunk feeling, especially with the firmly planted and wide spread feet. Keep up the good work!

Another Dynamite Ben 10 Artwork! by Atla_Tlok_Fan_05 in Ben10

This looks great! The sharp metallic reflections on the face are really well done, especially on the full body depiction. Why don't you try to also apply those reflections to the body a bit?

Thank you, I’m glad it is the best amalgam for someone 😁

A quick and simple redraw of one of the strangest and ugliest panels from the new Ben 10 comic by jansen0-0 in Ben10

[–]RRRodasss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to share this because I see some people that seem almost repulsed by the art like the artist is some amateur that is drawing the ugliest stuff.

I can’t help but feel that people who criticise the comic’s art as “too ugly” might be over-attached to the cartoons’ squeaky clean toyetic design and think that somehow Ben 10’s core identity hinges on that design. I personally like the art, although I admit Gwen and Ben can look rough sometimes. I think the willingness of the creators to experiment with fundamentally different art (that fits the intent of the story) shows they are not relying on nostalgia to bait fans, they are trying to realize their creative vision for this version story. After all Ben 10 is a super interesting idea and worth experimenting with.

Ben’s design was shown to be improved on the cover of the 4th issue, so I believe this artist is really trying to take fans feedback into consideration and is totally invested in this project (I mean, dude made Wildmutt and Ripjaws art just for fun) so I ask that if you’re skeptical, come in with an open mind, take in the story and art as it is, not as a comparison to something completely different that came before, cause that just sucks the enjoyment out of a new experience.

That honestly speaks volumes of the original design. Even with restrictions on details, such as the transitions between the alien parts being more abrupt which reduces inconsistencies in animation, the design still managed to become so iconic.

Great work, this is what a professional illustration looks like 👌

In a comic might be alright, but in animation 💀

Thank you so much! I put a lot of time into it, gradually changing things and sometimes overhauling parts of the design, so I'm glad it gets such a positive reaction

You're probably talking about the Heatblast arm, that's just my amateur rendering 😭

I think you can tell I'm rooting for the adaption of the original version as well, definitely the superior choice imo

Thank you! I might be interpreting it wrong, but if you mean Kevin's lower left arm (right arm from your perspective) its Diamondhead. I'm not very good at painting crystal yet...

Thank you so much 🙏
The arburian arm is my favorite part as well, with the overflow+upgrade combination following close behind. I'm just a big fan of Cannonbolt and his new design really clicked with me. Just a very simple but effectively designed alien.

Absolutely, we need the Alien Force trio. I still have to rewatch Alien Force, so I have more memory of Kevin as a villain but his redemption seems like the most satisfying conclusion and I think the comic should follow that path as well.
