So I've ended up with this head design which may be influenced by Patrick's little guy design and Christine's version of Ben 10.

I really like this last face! It's spot on as far as "parody" goes.

Happy twisting,
Bonnie

For a party a while ago, designed a big 4 foot Ben 10, but out of that came a fairly quick but instantly recognisable smaller version.

I don't usually post instructions or pics as i want everything to look perfect, but recently decided to just get some stuff out there if it might be of use to someone... So here is some fast ugly instructions, taken on my average phone camera... :)

Take a white 260, and marriagetwist a blush 160 into it. Make a 2 inch bubble in the white for the sleeve, then a pinchtwist for the shoulder attachment. Repeat so you have two sets, then twist in the middle to make the x in the below picture (apologies for the low quality).

Take a black 260, wrap the knot into one of the pinchtwists, make a SOFT 1/2 inch bubble, then the run the balloon down to the join in the whites, twist there then run another bubble the same length up to the top again, lock twist these together as shown...

Now twist another SOFT 1/2 inch bubble and attach to the other white pinchtwist to complete the upper body.

Make two BIG pinch twists with the two whites at the waist as shown below. Break the whites one by one and make a single foot (3 inch long bubble) from each end as shown below. Then make a triangle for the legs from a green 260, with two pinchtwists at the bottom two corners for the ankles as shown below...

Fit a blush round for the head and add a green watch and hands and the basic structure is complete. Make the arms a little shorter than in the photo, and only one broken blush 160 can be used.

This design is quite suitable for line twisting, taking 3-4 minutes and only using 4-6 balloons with very little complex twisting. Adding a few extra details like lines drawn on the shoes, hair with a lootle type face instead of the blush round, and black at the end of the sleeves (balloons or markers) and you have a 6 minute masterpiece that is instantly recognisable.

And it look much better when I spend more time on the photo's and don't have two kids trying to twist it at the same time... :)

Here's a fairly quick Omnitrix. It would be cool to put a light in it. I have some Qualatex sparkle collars, Becket. When I have time I will try to incorporate one.
