Hey there good fellows!For the longest time, I've had the desire to remake Ben 10, expand on the original universe, deeper characters, and other such various bollocks.The general plot so far is thus:"Calvin Vulmer is a terroristAt least that's what he's been told, to be honest Calvin has no idea why he's been expelled from the plumbers, convicted of treason, and other various acts. All he knows is that the most powerful weapon in the universe is stuck on his left hand, and 95% of Earth's popluation thinks he's a criminal.Along with "Maddie" an Appoplexian gym teacher (and Calvin's only remaining confiedant), he travels across the universe looking for answers and the chance to clear his name."It'd be an over arcing plot obviously, with sub-arcs, recurring villians and allies, character development and such.I'm here to gather input and the like, Alien setlists, Villians, character ideas, story arcs, etc.So without further ado, I leave it over to you good folks.
>>25158 So he's Sinestro?
>>25164sinestro doesn't want more powerhe's just fanatical about law and order in the universeyou know he formed the sinestro corps solely to make the guardians allow killing, which he believed would make them more of a threat and therefore more effective?
>>25165I'm not sure what his goals are... Maybe a combination of wanting to be like his dad, and then later realizing that: "Hey, I have access to an infinate amount of powerful weapons, legal and otherwise... fuck peace and order, I wanna see what these things do!"Or something better written.Just throwing my two cents out there... :C
>>25171That's what i was getting at. With the power to absorb any energy and manifest it physically, I'd get pretty power hungry. If, you know, i didn't want to be a superhero. Power absorption, as a villain, is a dangerous power, and someone like Kevin? He's greedy, and really only did things that he thought were "fun" and "interesting" before his heel face turn. But as a plumber, he should start off as a genuine good guy, taking after his father, until he gets a taste of something powerful. and decides he wants a bit more. And then some more. And then.... yeah
>>25182>Ilikethis.jpgAlso any other ideas on what to focus on? Arcs, Villians, Etc.?
>>25245uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnot at the moment, no. i'll think of something eventually, though, especially if we just keep tossing ideas outalso, the pic has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but does look a little like way big
>>25254I think that was the general idea, Way Big species being To'kustar. He's still one of my faves.Also the Ultimate Alien opening had some pretty bitchin' new designs for some of the older aliens. Here's a shitty sketch of one of them!The fact that Fourarms now looks like Hard Gay does not bother me in the least, Is this wrong?Also; how did everyone feel about Ultimate Alien?
>>25255 The transformations better not be a shot of the kid's rib cage expanding.
>>25256They've had proper transformations for a while now, though I do perfer the original transformations a wee bit more.Dunno why :/
>>25255haven't seen ultimate alien, but i don't really like any of the evolved aliens.
>>25262Eh, I am neutral.
Also sketches on binderpaper.
>>25298that is a massive pic. seems slim, but overall nice sketches
>>25302I thought I resized it...Oh well here's this to make up for my incompotence.Ignore the crinkles.
>>25302Oh, and thank you, just trying to get Diamondhead down pat, y'know?
I came up with an idea for a 3rd member of the Main Cast.This motherfucker right here. Atto, a Chronian bored with his prolonged existence runs into Calvin and Maddie, because hey, a terrorist on the run? That should bring some jokes, japes and other good thrilling times to be had!
>>25336Anyone care to say anything about things here?I don't mean to come off as anything negative.
a chronian? wasn't that what that one guy from the first live action movie was? fine with me. what powers do chronians have?
>>25339Time Manipulation/Teleportaion, and Energy Spheres.
>>25340energy spheres are outdatedbut whatev
>>25341I didn't make the powerset :/ (Actually called energy PROJECTION, but he made balls of death, and beside everyone needs an offesive power)
>>25342so he's hiro with an extra power. still fine by me.
>>25343Yatta~Everything alright, Mr. Wondercraft?
>>25344trying desperately to raise enough money to see my girlfriend before i ship off to boot camp.so, yeah, the Diamondhead sketches look pretty good. Again, he seems a bit slimmer than what a defensive alien would be, but otherwise you've got him pat. the Chronian looks good, too. I like how you keep the circle joints and wire frame and stuff in the sketch. I know of only one other guy that drew like that, and he said he doesn't understand why more people don't do so, since it's a good way to learn and get better. Still, the idea of a Chronian on the team seems to be a good idea. Since he's got Hiro's power set, he'll be a rather helpful ally, especially when shit gets too out of hand for our other two heroes.But, since we already have an Appoplexian, i think Calvin should want to take a slightly more defensive role in the team. One Rath is more than enough to handle a few mooks. Atto should be a controller type (stupid D&D, making me balance parties and whatnot) kind of like Gwen was- take care of multiples rather than one or two at a time.
>>25346Well first off you're an awesome boyfriend, I'm sure your lady is proud of you something feirce! Sorry to hear about boot camp, too. Also yeah heres how I break it down in a quasi-bullshit character study, you might be here a bit:Calvin-Chaotic Good, a bit brash as any rookie cop usually is, Calvin believes that the law is unimportant if good can come of it, but due to recent events Calvin has even more issues with laws and regulations, fueling a hatered of people bending the law to suit their needs, but with this mindset he becomes unpopular with certain groups, further cementing his "terrorist" status, now he performs heroic acts out of a combination of genuine goodness of his heart and utter contempt for pointed fingers.Maddie-Neutral Good, the Team mom if you will, a highly compassionate individual, mostly due to break out of the stereotypes that have fallen most of her species. She also struggles to keep her anger at bay as best she can, fearing harm will come to those she loves if she doesn't, you can say she cares too much, assists Calvin due to their past together and knowing she will be able to do good at his sideAtto-Chaotic Neutral, the typical longevital achellie's heel of getting bored, Atto sets of on a grand adventure of debaucery and seduction, a stark contrast to Maddie's motives to say the least. Atto's in it for the lulz, cause mischeif, and what have you. But being sentient he does have a moral code of sorts, never doing anything too heinous or cruel, just "fun". Also long with a prolonged existence comes a morbid sense of humor...Also Calvin will have a Loboan/Benwolf as his "berzerker"
Thanks man.sounds good. more on Maddie, will she be a large part of fights, given her amazing offensive capability? or will she choose to linger in the background until absolutely needed?And I am fine with calvinwolf beserker(by "i am fine" I really mean that it's a great idea and i'd like to see it in action, lol)
>>25349She's an Appoplexian, of course she's gunna foight!
>>25350i can dig it. Just wanted to make sure she's of the genius bruiser type. Maybe add a bit more to her story- she loves the adrenaline rush of fighting, and is a bit addicted to it. It'll play well with her species and might prove to be an issue at some point (can you say StoryLine? lmao)
>>25354Good ideas, mein friend. Someone needs to archive all this, for future prospects of course.

>>25378lolidunno.jpgBut in all seriousness I realized something...We need to start wonking in this bad mother :O
>>25380wonking?
>>25381I meant working...I am very tired and a bad typist.Put 2 and 2 togther and~
>>25382so what's the next step? first episode?
>>25383I've posted the REALLY rough sketches of the first 2 pages around here somewhere, so yeah pretty much.
>>25384Here:>>31680and Here:>>25304:D
>>25385it says that>>31680can't be found
>>25400D:well, here's a link to the image:https://plus4chan.org/boards/draw/src/127016430213.jpgI appologize for any inconvience, dear sir.
>>25401alrightso what's going on in that image? I see Calvin at a bar and two... robots? talking to him. Calvin seems a bit distressed. Bounty Hunters or cops seem to have found him.in >>25304 he seems to be talking to whoever those robot things arehow am i doing so far? btw, since I can't draw, i'm a writefag
>>25404Sorry I should have been a lot more detailed with these (I blame only myself), Calvin is being interrigated by Magister Levin, whom has strong evidence linking Calvin to the assault on the research facility, also Calvin was getting bored and put a Styrofoam cup on his head.The guard robot shot it off.Always good to have a writer aboard too.
>>25409okay, how many pages do you have drawn up so far? and do you have a script yet? if not, I'll be more than happy to take over script writing
>>25410It's not so much a script as it is ideas :/, If you'd be okay with doing the majority of the writing that'd be awesome!CONJOINT EFFORT!
>>25420that's how this shit gets done. So how are we going to do this? I'm thinking one of three ways: 1) I come up with the script, you draw it up; 2) You draw, I base the script around your pages; 3) We collab from the get go, agreeing on everything- how action should go, how speech should go, etc. etc.
>>254223-Collab from the get go (Only makes sense), you got an AIM or anything I can contact you by Wondercraft?
>>25423windows liveLittleRaveBoy@live.com
>>25424You get my email yet? :C
>>25434uhhh.... no.... :(it's an IM not an e-mail address. even though you could send me e-mails... whatever. sorry, add my facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/littleraveboy
