Description
"Let's see what you've got, Tennyson..."Okay, this one is both a request from MaxwellCohen and a contribution to his project: he asked me to draw the three main protagonists of Ben 10 as they will be portrayed in his Reboot Redemption Crossover. Since I have some problems with Ben and Gwen, I decided to start with the one who inspired me the most: Kevin "11" Levin.
For the most part, I followed Maxwell's instructions, mainly taking parts from the Alien Force, Original Series and Kevin 11,000 design. I pictured him before his Character Development, when he is still a rival to Ben, so I chose to despict him with his traditional slasher smile from the Original Show that we all know and love. The only part I am not really happy with is the ripping in the jean; I forgot to draw it and had to add it through paint, so it doesn't really looks good. Anyway, I think we can still agree I managed to give a new and badass design of Kevin MUCH BETTER than what Omniverse did with him.

Kevin 11 is so much better then that replacement wannabe Albedo

O, damn it, you won't start that again, will you? We already discuted this. Albedo is NOT just a "replacement wannabe" to Kevin. He is more than that. He is his own character with his own motivations and backstories. Heck, aside from being a counterpart to Ben, he has practically NOTHING to do with Kevin! Can't the two be accepted as equally cool characters?

Albedo is a laughable recolor Kevin 11 is so much better more original and creepy i wish Kevin 11 stayed evil so we can have a creepy and awesome mutant maniac as Ben's evil counterpart instead of a laughable recolor turd who is obsessed with chili fries

Are you friggin' serious?!! Very well, allow me to start:
1) OF COURSE Albedo is a recoloring: that's his point! The idea was to make an evil twin (unlike Kevin who was just intended to be a counterpart). A clone who doesn't look like the original at all would make little sense! Also by that logic, characters who also are recolorings, like Scarlet Spider and Carnage (Spider-Man), Subzero and Reptil (Mortal Kombat) or Luigi (Mario), are ALSO lame. And they aren't. There is really nothing wrong with using recoloring if it's justified, and in Albedo's case it is.
2) Original? Yeah, sure: he is an emo gothic little kid who was bullied and called a freak because he had powers so he started fight back. It's definitely not like I have seen a thousands variants of this archetype, not all good. Albedo on the other hand has an unique origin amongst evil twin.
3) If Kevin had stayed evil he would have become boring; much like Vilgax he was cool at first but too one-dimensional to stay interesting; at least AUF gave him some development (not always well-done granted). Also, you would rather a guy to be evil than have redemption just because he was cooler as a villain?! What the heck is wrong with you?!
Don't get me wrong, I like Kevin as a character and a villain, but all I am trying to show is that he has his own flaws and Albedo IS superior to him in some areas. The two are completely different villains/characters and I like them both in their own way rather than pointlessly trying to find which one is the better with the reasoning that one is replacing the other. They were two completely different takes on an evil counterpart, and interesting in their own ways.

It looks like he is wearing armored plating on his chest with that shirt on, which would be badass enough that he had managed to create it through a broadened modification of his absorbing ability, mixed to a state that it alone could boarderline on Alchemy like the kind in FMA. To exceed this badass threshold you've established, add a segment of his skin to appear as though it is actually an easily breakable material in order to show exactly how inhuman Kevin really is and how far he is willing to go in order to try and pass himself off as one when he clearly isn't.
...But then again that'd be ripping me off as that'd be MY version of Kevin.

The shirt is supposed to look armored. I had Darinas incorporate aspects of all of Kevin's designs. Still, that would be a good concept.

Lol. You can still mention the idea to Maxwell. Maybe he'd be interested.
