#astrodactyl

PLAYLIST SIX (Tim Burton's Ben 10 Omniverse Finale!)

finally finished the Astrodactyl thing after some days of rest. For the actual design i still think its need some more refinement as i am stipl not comple5ely sure on what direction to take it to yet. but for the actual art itself then i like it more than i originally expected.

Anyways here is some extra doodles i did while trying to think about their species's lore and worldbuilding go with it

It's the 11th! You know what that means? It's time for another Antitrix transformation! This month, it's Dark Matter's turn.

Dark Matter is red, lanky, and produces an odd substance from his body. There's an alien that fits this description perfectly in the classic series: Astrodactyl! As such, this is who I decided to fuse Grey Matter with!

Dark Matter was already among my favourite Antitrix transformations, so I didn't change him much ability-wise!

Dark Matter is able to secrete cerebrospinal fluid from bone-like protrusions on his forearms and back. Upon contact with air, it begins to crystallize, and by shaping it, while it hardens, Kevin can create all kinds of crystal weapons and tools. It can also he ejected as fireballs, which Kevin mostly does by launching them cannon-style from his back, or launch them from his forearms to give himself a vertical boost.

Naturally, Dark Matter still has Grey Matter's heightened intelligence and wall scaling abilities. However, since he's a lot larger than Grey Matter, he can't utilize these abilities in the same way. He can't do precision work on technology as naturally as Grey Matter, instead Kevin mostly utilizes his knowledge to create elaborate traps, especially since Datk Matter can create some components himself. He's definitely faster, stronger, and more agile than Grey Matter, but due to his size, it is not as good at hiding.

This time, I also want to note the Antitrix badge placement. Since Kevin has a limited selection of aliens, I'm trying to give every single one of them a unique badge placement. Dark Matter's is on his right shoulder, just like Astrodactyl's.
