Description Here is some of the work that I did while developing the character Upchuck for the Cartoon Network Studios program Ben 10, the episode The Visitor. Many possiblities were generated for the idea of Upchuck. Some in fact were later to appear in the episodes Ben 10,000 and Ken 10 as both other heroes and villains.

Heya! I’m honestly happy to see someone who helped work on one of my favourite cartoon series appearing more and posting art progression. I’ve always loved how some of the designs you made were never forgotten, and how you unintentionally created one of my favourite aliens- arcticguana!
heck, I even based an alien I made off of the 8 guy because of how unique he is
im a big fan of your work, and I hope some day they bring you back for another rendition of Ben 10

Nice! I like 1 aka Sploot, 2 aka Spitter, 5 aka Gullet, 6, 8, 9 aka a member of the planet X'Nelli and concept art for Arctiguana, and 10a.

Alot of Fans were kinda hoping that Ben unlocked Uxorite DNA along with Gourmand DNA. It'd actually be pretty interesting to know what Ben as a Uxorite would be like. Was there any Concept for that?

These all look so cool!Β Number 8 sort of reminds me of Alien Force's Echo Echo , maybe they took a bit of inspiration from this concept? XDΒ

You can always do what fan art you wish. All I mean is that though I designed these characters, I do not own them. They are properties of Cartoon Network, so I have no power to give anyone the permission to do anything with them. I say you should draw what ever you like.

tnperkins In reply to cybololz [2011-01-22 11:10:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Yeah, the development of Upchuck predates those other two characters, but I can't say if this had any influence on them. And if you mean "Gluto" from "Secret of the Omnitrix"...then the coincidence is less, because I designed him too. Thank you for checking out my work. I am glad you are enjoying it.

Did they all have the same power of eating things and then puking up explosive attacks? Because number 8 looks more like a vacuum.

Ben Wolf, Ben Mummy, Ben Vicktor, Waybig, Eyeguy, Ditto, Spitter, Arctiguana, Charmcaster, Ben 10k, Kevin 11k, Future Gwen...All sorts of stuffs. I was on the show from the beginning of Season 2 to the end of Season 4 and the Secret of the Omnitrix DVD. I have also done a little freelance work on the Later iterations of the show, but not too much.

tnperkins In reply to jalalthedragonborn [2010-06-01 12:47:36 +0000 UTC]

It does look that way, because when it got passed over for Upchuck, we later recycled him as Arctiquana, just as Spitter, Sploot and Gullet where also other unused upchuck prototypes. Good call.
