This is my original alien Predator known as the Koteail, which in the name of the locals who deal with it means Moving Graveyard. Please ignore the red collar that was because the drawing was made for Ben 10.

Anyway, the idea of the species is that they're massive whale-like creatures. They’re about the length of a city bus. Their most unique feature is that they don’t have a mouth, instead their body is covered in acidic sticky goo.

When prey gets stuck onto this goo they slowly dissolve and the nutrients from the body get absorbed through the skin. They general have a round balanced diet but generally hunt the locals known as the Wasca which are four armed frog like aliens.

They hunt by releasing a short lasting chemical into the water that dulls the senses of the prey allowing the beast to quickly bump into them and get them stuck on their bodies.

While adult Koteail generally travel alone, infants travel in small schools. While smaller food is generally captured in the same manner as adults, infants swarm larger prey dragging them down to the sea floor while dissolving them.

If you can assist in improving the biology of the creature I'd really appreciate that as someone pointed out the various flaws. Other than that hope you enjoy.

So you're probably thinking that this is already pretty terrifying and I'll grant you that but I'll explain what I'm trying to do. The first picture is of my original Ben 10 alien Bluetooth. For those who don't know, Ben 10 is about a kid with the ability to turn into aliens with the power of a device called the Omnitrix. There's an AU version of Ben 10's device called the Carnitrix which turns his aliens into horrific monsters, basically it's a horror version of the idea.

I've included two other photos, the second is what I have so far for the designs I've tried. I'm trying to go for sorta of Siren Head, tentacle monster, with it's neck essentially being like a scorpion's tail coming out in an arc on it's body. The main think I'm having trouble mainly with is solidifying the design and getting the tentacles and the mouth to work.

The third photo is a version of a Carnitrix design I've already done to give you a better idea of the type of style I'm going for. So if I could get some advice that would most appreciated.

So my friend Ultimate10 is currently trying to come up with the third crossover to do with Ben 10 in a set of crossovers he's doing. The basic premise is during a battle Ben gets duplicated as Echo-Echo and sucked into a portal, each clone has become their own individual and can't return because they've been separated for too long.

He's currently doing One Piece and a remake of his Fairy Tail Crossover. But he's still debating on the last crossover and I think it should be Danmachi. I remember seeing it suggested by another writer as an adoptable idea and thought it could really work. I just would like some help with ideas on where you can take it. Oddly enough I've tried looking for any crossovers fanfics and found nothing, so I think it would be cool if he got to be the first.

The main idea I think the series should focus on is Ben being a mentor and teacher for Bell. This isn't Omniverse Ben by the way who's inconsistent. This is Ben's character at his best, smart, intelligent, skilled, experience, yet still goofy. Obviously he'll still be involved in fights and stuff but that's what I think the main focus of the series should be. The main thing we're trying to figure out is how to start it. Ultimate10 seems mostly on board but I think he needs a solid platform to get him moving. Ultimate10 mainly wants to start with mostly original adventures before getting into canon or at the very least, not follow the cannon to the enth degree.

So I believe Ben could potentially end up in the dungeon first and come across the sentient monsters early, be brought to Uranus and Ganesha. Paradox shows up and explains the situation and Ben decides to head to the outside to get a better understanding of this world.

Eventually he comes across Bell getting beaten up for some reason, probably because of his Familia (unless this before he joins). Ben helps out while staying human, but when a guy tries to stab Ben, Bell willingly takes a hit despite being injured. Ben learns of how Bell wants to become a hero and starts bringing their mentor training.

There's a lot of possible directions you can take afterwards especially in regards to the other gods in how they try to deal with Ben once he becomes known. I feel like Paradox should be known to the gods and have a similar relationship to them as Celestialsapiens. I'm not entirely sure if the gods should know of Ben through Paradox, but it would depend on the direction taken.

But there's a lot of ironing out of the story, like my idea for how it starts has a lot of holes in how it would work. So I'd like some help from people who know the source material better to help get him on board with this idea. Please list your suggestions and ideas and I'll relay them to him.

Thanks

So the second drawings shown were made by my friend. They are aliens based on the Zodiac and they inspired me to do my own take on the designs with his permission. I get the at a lot of people are going to talk about my lack of posing and maybe flatness. But that’s how I do my art.

I mainly focus on designs first as I start from the ground up and do it all freehand. All of these were done first in pencil then traced over with microns and then colored in with colored pencils.

Anyway I’ve noticed that people haven’t been giving my art much praise here. Which I’m not against just please go more into detail if you can. I’m trying to improve just as much as anyone else.

I made this in Middle school alongside several aliens with the intention of breaking convention. But years later I realized it wasn’t as creative as I thought. So years later I revisited and redesigned it. Let me know what you think.
