@zexalmonth Day 23 Q-Quotes

This sentence isn’t only my favourite because I’m a Kaizael Shipper

No, this sentence also means a lot to me personally and encouraged me to follow the path that I believe in

Follow your own paths, guys

This will also probably be my last contribution to Zexal month

It’s been a blast y’all and I hope to participate again next year :)

@zexalmonth Day 22 P-Powers

My favourite power in the Zexal series by far is the Zexal Morph

Which brought up the question for me

Can other “alien” beings also morph? Doesn’t matter if with each other or with humans

So I made this Zexal Barian Morph of Kaito and Mizael (Or as I call him Kaizar)

And also-

Would their monsters also fuse?? Galaxy-Eyes-Tachyon-Photon-Dragon where?

And omg he would have such an Superiority Complex, this man has too much confidence and pride inside him

@zexalmonth Day 21 O-Originality

Who else to draw, but my baby Alcora

This gave me an opportunity to finally design her looks from ALL her lifetimes

In the past, as Queen being married to Vector

As a Barian emperor

And her present human design

The truth is, while she is/was married to Vector, she is still the most human Barian

Which calms the other Barians since she is the only one who can actually tame Vector

But that has to do with the fact that she wasn’t even supposed to be a Barian 🤫

But that’s a story for another time

I‘m currently working on her full lore and will post it when it’s finished

@zexalmonth Day 16 L-Location combined with S-Siblings

There are many Locations that I’d really like to see more of in Zexal, but the one that really tickles me is Kaito‘s and Haruto‘s Home in the Disney core Woods/Mountains

Because why does nobody talk about the possibility of Cottage core Kaito??

I want to see more of that, want to see the inside of their house too

It just all looks so European, which makes me wonder where the Tenjos even come from??

But anyway, I drew them back at their home at night, just on their way back from a little Picknick :3

They are my favourite siblings in the series, because they just remind me of me and my siblings the most

The Kamishiro twins are a close second, but it’s the age gap between Kaito and Haruto, that relates to me so much

I love their unconditional love and support for each other, they’re just so precious 😭💕

@zexalmonth Day 14 J-Justice

I think Zexal deserved more justice as a fusion

Let me elaborate

Zexal was already good as it was, but I think it could have been done even better

It didn’t always sit right with me, that they talked mostly with Yuma‘s voice and sometimes with Astral’s, and sure they did have moments when they spoke at the same time, but why not have it always like that?

You could say it was because they were not quite One yet at the first time they formed Zexal, which is okay for the FIRST TIME,

But this was a new peak in their relationship, they literally became One. Maybe it could have just been both their voices from then on all the time or maybe just Yuma‘s Voice but influenced by Astral‘s it would have been deeper.

Honestly I would have loved just an Episode where they would form Zexal, just out of curiosity, not for a duel (even though a duel would eventually happen, I mean this is Yugioh)

Just Zexal walking around as their own person and trying things for themselves as half human-half astral

Not Yuma. Not Astral. Zexal.

So that at the end of the day, Astral could understand the human world better and Yuma could understand Astral‘s feelings of being lost in another world better

It all also depends on when the episodes takes place, but anyway-

I just want to see more of Zexal being Zexal and learning to be Zexal outside of duels.

Zexal is Yuma‘s and Astral‘s relationship given form - Just like a specific other alien fusion

You know how ecstatic Garnet would be to meet Zexal??

Another baby fusion she could train and mentor like Stevonnie, to show them what being a fusion really means

I am so close to convince myself to draw a „Here comes a thought“ fanart of them or ANYTHING GARNET DID WITH STEVONNIE-

@zexalmonth Day 13 I-Icicles

It’s summer and hot as hell and I am craving more Mizael

Or rather what I think Mizael would wear to the beach while getting a nice treat for himself

Also another excuse for me to draw Mizael with a braid (that he most definitely never does himself, it’s always Kaito or Merag)

I don’t even think the poor boy can swim really

@zexalmonth Day 12 H-Hobby

I headcanon, that Mizael would try to bake something for Kaito, because he has such a sweet tooth.

But this poor alien hasn’t even seen a kitchen before in his life and as you can see it didn’t end well.

But his pride doesn’t allow for this to be the end! He will return as a master baker! (or that’s what he claims)

@zexalmonth Day 9 G-Gate

What better excuse to combine my 2 most favourite fandoms??

I already knew what I had to do

And it would have been an absolute crime to not put Nasch into Octavinelle

Even if he wouldn’t have been sorted into it, he would immediately transfer to it, because Fish Dorm

Also omg, Floyd would totally call him Shark or Sharky and Nasch would just be like

How the hell do you know my name???

@zexalmonth Day 8 F-Friendship

Okay so, most people know I’m a huge Galaxymaster Shipper.

But!

I think these two would just have a very good connection, whether it be romantic or platonic.

I want to see these two meet each other again after the Numeron Code revived them!

How did they react when they saw each other??

These two still have so much left to talk about

Because Mizael would honour Kaito‘s dying wish and tell him his story, as promised

@zexalmonth Day 7 E-Enemy

I just HAD to do Vector for Enemy

Love him. Best Antagonist for me by FAR.

And I love that, he was a child born for peace, but became a being of war.

If I had 2 Nickels every times I saw a character like that, I‘d have 2 Nickels which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice

@zexalmonth Day 6 D-Duel

(I didn’t draw for today because I could never top this peace of art)

My favourite Duel in the Series by far is Vector vs. Durbe and Merag

Because

1. Vector‘s Expressions and lines are the best as always

2. We get a cool magical girl transformation for Merag

3. We get to see Merag‘s and Nasch‘s Bond with Durbe a bit more! Because this is one of the only time we have seen such raw Emotion on them! When Durbe sacrificed himself we saw the heartbreak in their eyes Like Nasch‘s Reaction is just pure fuel for my Tomoshipping Fire

4. And of course the heartbreaking farewell of the twins

I just love this duel, because we see so much emotion from Nasch and Merag, NOT Ryouga and Rio!

They are fighting for Barian World and are shedding tears, when their longest and most loyal friend Durbe dies, which tells us so much about their bond BEFORE their time as Rio and Ryouga

And that’s exactly what I want!

Give me more Infos about their Relationship with the other Barians!

@zexalmonth Day 5 C-Chaos

I‘m gonna leave all the angsty Chaos stuff to the others and put my favourite girl Tori in a chaotic situation

This was literally the first thing that came to my head, when reading the prompt for the first time

Poor Tori’s gotta watch her step

@zexalmonth Day 2 B-Barian

I can not draw the Barians without drawing Tomoshipping

I love these two soooo much, they’re my favourite Zexal Ship and Characters 🥰🥰

I just kinda wished, that we saw a bit more of Nasch‘s and Merag‘s time as Barian Emperors before Vector tried to kill them.

I want to see how their relationship was with the other Barians and how they interacted with each other

I would 100% watch a show solely about the Barians

@zexalmonth Day 1 A-Astral

Love this cuties reaction to food, so here‘s a human Astral eating food with his human body for the first time
