Zexal Month: Redesign (Nistro)
Tumblr media
For this month I decided to do a few redesigns for Zexal Month and I decided to start with Nistro.
Actually, I have no issue with Nistro’s canon design and this is definitely one of the designs that I wanted to do for fun. I really like Nistro as a character, I think he’s really fun and I just really like his look. His Giant coat with orange fur is absolutely my favorite thing about his original design.
So for the redesign I went ahead and played around with what I thought would suit Nistro and his story best. He’s Heartland’s left hand man and an enforcer for the WDC. In this redesign, The outfit shown is an alternate design of what he wears when he enters the carnival himself.
When I was figuring out what to do with this design, I was thinking in terms of his relationship with Mr. Heartland, His role in Heartland City, and how he moves on from there. I figured that the clothes he’d be wearing would be dark, intimidating, and have a clean silhouette in the beginning when he’s first seen; It’d be a contrast to Mr. Heartland who’s ostentatious and colorful. 
Then when he joins the WDC so he could battle Yuma again, He sorta distances himself from Heartland’s control and reignites poorly smothered sparks inside him and he dons a striking flame jacket that intimidates his opponents and challenges Heartland. 
After the Tower fall and Dextra and him escape, he’s free of Heartlands control and dresses more casually with a triadic color scheme to match his newfound success as a wrestler.
