Tristan Nickerson

Meet Tristan Nickerson, a visionary artist whose creativity helped shape the earliest days of Roko Itonami. Now 36, Tristan blends a love of intricate detail with bold imagination, bringing to life unforgettable characters like Drago Dell’ Ombro, Kelly, Hugo, Amber, and Rozuko — all born from the mysterious world of Devlon Labs.

Though he’s no stranger to the occasional art block, Tristan always finds his way back to the page, turning inspiration into striking, emotional artwork. A 2009 high school graduate, his passions extend beyond illustration — he’s deeply into airsoft, mechanics, aircraft, and collecting model cars, all of which influence his designs and give his characters a grounded, tactical edge.

Even as his journey took him away from the Roko project, Tristan’s creative legacy remains deeply woven into the fabric of Aruzio. His characters continue to live and evolve, a testament to the mark he made from the very beginning.
