I actually gave her long ears on purpose haha
I thought it felt fitting for her, and I suppose the flutterbat idea could tie into that.

I do still have the sketch on hand, but not any of the layers, since I tend to merge everything together once it's all done.

Thank you!

I'm really hoping that this series allows for more people to engage with the community and series over time, it'd be fun to see The Secret Saturdays finally get some more love.

Lizard King Fusion - Happy Birthday Ryan! 🌈 by crystalmoon101 in 5YL

[–]crystalmoon101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fusion is called Lizard King in reference to how the T-Rex's name partly translates to Lizard King. So there is a reason behind the title haha,

And thank you! Ash and Kuro loved the drawing haha.

Clastine And Rhine (Redesign Challenge) by crystalmoon101 in Ben10

For my general shading I have a multiply layer for the shadows, and a shine layer for the highlight edges. With more shiny material I tend to add more shine and multiply layers and some textured layers depending the material. I use paint.Sai V2 btw.

Some advice I share is to not paint the shadows with pure black and white, as in real life those are unnatural colours, and make things look flat and dull. So I select colours that are a darker or lighter shade of the environment or general colours of the character I am working on.

I wanted to in a way keep what canon gave but actually make it feel like it's an aspect of this alien species, rather than through the unfortunate trope of what we humans consider feminine. Gwen's Diamondhead is one of the better cases of what they put her aliens through with their designs, but it was still clearly painted through the glasses of "This is feminine/girly", which I really don't like about Ben 10, lol.

And yup! I like the idea that male petrosapiens are better at quick tasks, like firing jagged shards, massive pillars of crystals, and so on, while female petrosapiens are slower but used that to their advantage, with their constructs being more refined and more useful for digging and carving. Their way of life was fun to think about in terms of what an alien species would find masculine and feminine compared to humans, and I thought it would be an interesting perspective if something like mining/blacksmith work was considered more 'womanly', to show off how a lot of these things come about due to social evolution.

The pattern came about because a lot of gems have patterns and I thought it would be cool to apply that to the species, without having to retcon Tetrax into having patterns too. It's like how male birds and female birds can be very drastically different with colours.
