Description
Among my various gigs, I worked on the Cartoon Network hit, Ben 10. My tenure on that show lasted from the end of the First Season until the completion of the show with Season Four.From that gig, I moved onto an ancillary project with Bandai. They had created an online game that was related to an episode we did called "Dr. Animo and the Mutant Ray" The the underlying premise being that Ben had broken the Omnitrix and was now transforming into hybrid mutations of his original ten aliens to form new and odd combinations. Here are some of the designs I did for the Bandai.com online game, "BEN 10- DNA Lab". I started designing these Hybrids last year and they have been unveiled in the game as each successive toy set game out. I did somewhere in the neighbor hood of 80 hybrids. This set is combining Ben's various aliens with his Greymatter alien form. Unfortunately they didn't end up needing the Greymatter designs and so they got left on the cutting room floor.
As the game has been out for a respectable time now and posted and reposted on fansites hither and yon, I figure that I can now display them in my portfolio without fear of leaking sensitive info. Many of you have seen these over at ~Akamu1228's gallery and similar fan postings.

I really like that show, I'm a little bummed they keep dropping old alien forms, I'd like to see how they evolve as ben gets older.

Why didn't they want a RipJaws? For that matter, why didn't they want a WayBig and EyeGuy set of hybrids as well?

It all had to do with the accompanying toy line that related to the DNA Lab promotion.

I suspect that there are hybrids for Ripjaws as well, correct?

tnperkins In reply to Chimera-gui [2010-05-22 14:30:26 +0000 UTC]
Nope. Bandai didn't wish to have Ripjaws hybrids commissioned.... much to my regret. I would have loved to do those Hybrids.

Say, are you gonna post any potential ultimate versions of Omnitrix aliens?

tnperkins In reply to MeanBeanMachinez [2010-05-22 14:32:23 +0000 UTC]
Nope. I did these for a job. If Bandai does a new DNA Lab game, I suspect that they will hire someone attached to the current show, just as they hired me to do art for this game.

These are all awesome, I find the Upchuck/Grey Matter a bit strange but you know, they ARE aliens
Do you have more of these, like perhaps merged with ghostfreak or XLR8 or Stinkfly
And did you make any hybrids containg DNA from Ripjaws or Ditto

Sadly, they had now toys to tie them to.... I could have designed hundreds more quite happily. I even had some Vilgax type alien hybrids in mind.... oh well......

There are many more tucked away in my hard drive... as I said above, I did 80 or 90 of these DNA Lab images. I dole them out as time and inclination allow.
