Welp, I was hoping it didn’t lead into something like this, but I found myself disappointed anyways after finding this with no credit on Ben10KClub’s newest video.
(Yes, this is going to be a thread)

I never mentioned about this to anyone except my boyfriend and a few friends of mine, but I had worked for Ben10KClub for a few months before I had decided to quit due to burnout and wanted to focus on college and my own works.
From the beginning it seemed like he wanted a commission of something related to the Ben 10 Reboot, so I thought "okay I can do that". However, this then turned into me working for him with promise of 20% payment from the video I helped work on, like thumbnails or stills.
There was also supposed to be animation as well, and I agreed to working for him. What I didn't expect was the amount of time and the way he worked while I was doing all of this stuff for him.
One example was that whenever we set up a time and date (usually the same day we plan to work together via Twitter DMs), I would wait and receive no messages from him until days later. This would have me dropping everything I was already working on for college homework to get
whatever he needed done bc he would need them asap. There was one point where I did ask him where the videos were since he did tell me he planned to get the videos out asap, but found out it was taking him weeks to get these videos out there on YouTube.
After watching this one video though, it seems like it could've been edited and done within 2-3 days. I may not know what kind of stuff he maybe doing behind the scenes, but it kind of bothered me.
As of the art, this is all of what I've done for him
The Adult and Regular Ben were traced from a video clip while the rest were drawn by me

The one with both Bens was eventually changed to Adult Ben and Alien X BEFORE the new episode came out (and this includes the floating Alien X from the previous thread post that was supposed to go into an intro). Spidermonkey was also traced from a video clip, and didn't find out
until later on that it had upper eyes which I thought were eyebrows. These were the last things I worked on for him before I decided to quit, and found out he had only used these in his newest video, not even the videos that had my previous ones were done yet, and they came out
BEFORE Alien X's episode in the reboot. Like I said, I have no idea what he's doing behind the scenes with those videos, but I can say one thing for certain: This edit is not just horrifyingly bad, it's ridiculous.
(I've had to edit that face 3 times for him at the time)

I admit, some of his fans are apparently sick of him using the "Albedo's Return!!" bit for his videos from what I'm seeing on this new video. From the front of his channel, now that I look back on it, I kinda agree with them on this one.
Speaking of which, I found there were some videos where it was obviously drawn or traced over, and I found this:
1. The artist that helped with making the thumbnail is NOT credited
2. He was saying some things that never happened in the episode, and some ppl noticed it was fake

This is what led to me making this thread post. Not just bc I had not only quit and found out he used the art without crediting me in the description or comments, but also pulled this with everyone else too. Heck, I don't even know if they're being paid or not.
I'll update this thread if anything happens. I'm going to make a message to him about this, and as well as in the comments of the video. If you're reading this thread Ben10KClub, PLEASE credit your artists!
