Happy Anniversary! Two years ago today, I posted the very first take anyone did on an Original Series Shock Rock, I remember I started working on it before he even had a confirmed name, we'd only seen pictures of his action figure at the time.





So yeah, it's been two years since I started the original "Ben 10 Retrofitting" Project that ExOS would later evolve from. And now, the time has finally come to unveil his new Era II design!







I had a lot of fun redoing him here, he's got a lot of traits of the original I did, like the Kirby Krackle energy in his arms, or the way his suit works. I also modeled the armor to resemble one of the Fulmini seen in the "Alien Worlds" shorts.





On another interesting note, the day I uploaded the original, November 14th, 2017, was coincidentally the 3-year Anniversary of when Ben 10: Omniverse, and the Original Continuity as a whole ended! Today marks five years since it ended. Posting it on that day was a complete coincidence, I swear. I didn't even know until recently.







Thank you all so much for the support these past couple of years, all the comments, watches, favorites, commissions, etc. It's been amazing. And I look forward to showing you guys what I have in store when we return to the Alien Force set.





Update: 5/9/2020 - New glow and new textures. (EDIT: Doubling down on revisions, new hands and the legs have been revised to resemble the Era One design more.)







The Era 1 design can be seen below. This one is still available on DeviantArt! And it will remain here, as a sortof reminder of where I began.

Here's to the next year's worth of designs. Once again, thank you all for your support.
