I haven't watched Ben 10 since I was a child... but I saw some people drawing aliens from other medias as Ben 10 aliens and thought I would throw my hat in the ring.

Set-up with a Jupiterian android still in the emotional development stages of maturity, Sally regrets her decision to be set-up with a Jupiterian android still in the emotional development stages of maturity in, 'Lloyd'

Other Timelines Series... Spacetime Sally's Beautiful Tomorrow, a 1950s Atompunk style...

...which is very close to the 60s/70s New Wave sci-fi style normally seen, but with, ya' know, a 50s flair. Oh, and to answer that one person (the Ask button is over in the side links, now, btw), the title is NOT based on the John Woo movie, since that's called 'A Better Tomorrow', rather, it's based on the song, "There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow... Shining at the end of every day..." by Rex Allen (you can check it out here). The title is in reference to how everything in the future of the 1950s was supposed to be nuclear-powered and awesome, like in Fallout, but I think we can see how it turned out by just looking around.

Take what you get. and you live with it. Sometimes it's sweet frosting, nice gravy. Sometimes it's sour, it goes down hard, but you live with it.

Invaders from Mars (1953)

I was going to wait until I had full body references for them but I'm kinda impatient which means you get to see my designs for the crew from Stanisław Lem's "Eden" early.

I could yap about my design choices for a few paragraphs but I think I'll save that for the proper lineup. For now let's just say that I may have used a different, more recognisable group of 6 characters as an inspiration for their designs... and in 2 cases where that wasn't enough, I reused designs of my old characters.

Until then, enjoy these bonus doodles of Cybernetician, Engineer, Physicist and small cameos from Chemist
