Description Here is some of the work that I did while developing the character EYE GUY for the Cartoon Network Studios program Ben 10, the DTV BEN 10: SECRET OF THE OMNITRIX. Many possiblities were generated for the idea of Eye Guy, so here are an assortment of rough doodles from my process of possibilities....

I like how 8 has eyes on its ears... that was a creative design choice there.

Sometimes it is more, sometimes less. When working for others, you never know what they will respond to.

Sweet jeebus! That's a lot of concepts!

I'm used to doing one, and then getting that one crapped on and making changes to it. If I had this many, nothing would have ever gotten done.

wow that looks pretty good my friend i enjoy Eye Guy in the show and he was great at the Ben 10 vs The Negative 10 episode.

I personally have a question about Eyeguy. Did either you or your boss ever think of a storyline relating of the "birth" of Eyeguy? He sort of just.... showed up, you know? I mean, I like Eyeguy but I have just always wondered how Ben obtained him ever since the second version of Secret Of The Omnitrix. Very nice alternate forms, i am especialy interested in #4. Have a wonderfull day

tnperkins In reply to HeatGrade77 [2008-03-23 08:20:33 +0000 UTC]

You know....we didn't. It sort eluded us due to the time crunch to get the feature completed. I would like to have seen how that went down. Many of the omnitrix aliens are already installed and have yet to be accessed though. Cannonbolt, Wildvine, Ditto, Upchuck, Waybig, along with the original 10 heroes showed up that way. Ahhh welll. The mystery shall nag at us. no?

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and checking out my work.

PS- I see you have my Heatgrade Hybrid as your id icon....well done you.

YOU made up HeatGrade?! wow, i would love to be a Ben 10 creator like yourself. But sadly, i am only a kid and as like all children, i am extremely jealous . I really like Ben 10, and I know that Ben 10 Alien Force is going to be an awesome show. Well, thanks for replying to my comment.

Thanks for checking out the work. I was much like yourself when I was younger. I was persistant and now I work on various projects that as a kid I would have been stoked about. Mostly it just takes a lot of work and patience to get where you want, my friend. Good luck.
