@evilempirestudio.bsky.social Here's a little clue about my take on our Belmont. I can't wait to see her fully in action when the game comes around...💪💪

In honor of the #WeSayNoKings protests that are happening all around the world, I yearned to have my own way of joining in on the fun. #OriginalCharacter Laura Cempage isn't afraid to speak her mind. We're tired and angry. She is, too! Join her! RISE UP!! SCREAM OUT!! #NOKINGS!!!

The development of Punkman was inspired by my time working on my art (mostly with my watercolors and spray paint). I wanted to have a Robot Master that was loud, dirty, rebellious but also creatively impish in nature. I couldn't have been happier to have fun with a paint styled robot.

Eve Sapphiris @evesapphiris.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

It looks like I owe you guys an explanation. Long story short, I entered Punkman into the Megaman Robot Masters Art contest during mid December. The wait is on to see if I made it in the top 20 best designs or not. If I do, I'll be happy. If I didn't, I'm happy too. The best thing is to have fun.

In the last ten months, I've filled a sketchbook full of sketch studies, cosplay notes and concepts, gaming notes, concept art, and little traditional media experiments. It's been a crazy ride and more is bound to come. I am happy whenever another sketchbook is finished.🥹

All Hallow's Eve is fast, but Grant Dynasty from #Castlevania is faster with acrobatics and knives in tow. Make sure to watch out for Scary Grant, too! I'm so happy to be back on with #watercolorpainting after a long sewing session. Such inspiration for this painting came from the boss fight.

Once again, I hit on the #traditionalart journey with old and new ideas. Not only with some #conceptart but also drawing an old #originalcharacter. Feels good, yes? Hell yeah!😊 #HumanArtist #NoAI #artistjourney

I may have been too quiet... I have my reasons. Instead of torturing myself through more embroidery, I had a TON of gold trim that was in my archive. It. Was. PERFECT. Solielyu is going to shine! Just gotta redo beads and add more trim. #RetroGaming #Castlevania #Cosplay#HumanArtist #NoAI

Eve Sapphiris @evesapphiris.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

I am prosperous to say that after a full month of hand blackwork embroidery, progress has been made. Solielyu Belmont is coming together even faster than I thought. Some little errors came along the adventure, but I'm happy he's coming to life!😆 #Castlevania #Cosplay #RetroGaming #HumanArtist #NOAI

For the last few days, I've been hand sewing up a storm. The first tunic is slowly coming together, and I was able to use my gold trim for the front of the garment. There will be more elaborate sewing coming soon. My sewing machine is getting a workout soon LOL. #Cosplay #RetroGaming #Castlevania

For the past few weeks, I've been busy on my take on Solielyu Belmont (inspiration is from @junkisakuraba.bsky.social) from #Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge. Solielyu doesn't get a lot of love today and I hope to give him a chance, #cosplay wise. I hope to have him ready soon.😆🤞💪 #RetroGaming

What started as a simple primary color paint study turned to a huge surprise on my end. I hope to keep learning something new about the design I did for OG Sypha a year ago and give her some love. I hope guys will do the same.☺️

I've been busy once again, and I wanted to try my hands on an interesting take on Lisa Tepes from the #Castlevania series (both game and Netflix series). What I went for was a more elaborate style for her, and now I'm currently curious about the dress's color. Should it be black or a pink-magenta?

While goofing off within #PortraitofRuin, inspiration struck me hard. I decided to have a little fun with my take on Johnathan and Charlotte. It's been over two years since I did them last. I will say this was a success with my stained glass style art style. #MixedMediaArt ##HumanArtist #RetroGaming

Another sketch in the bag but I wanted to have a little fun with both Lisa and Mathias. I know~ It’s supposed to be Dracula and Lisa, but it makes sense with this cute crossover. I'm surprised with how tall I made Mathias with Lisa. #Castlevania #SymphonyoftheNight #LamentofInnocence #Pencil #Sketch

Post an old illustration you still like✨️ I have to say my take on Hakuba Mina. This piece had more of a Japanese vibe that I wasn’t aiming for intentionally, but the final result amazed me. I just went with what felt good to her traits in personality and cultural background.

Eve Sapphiris @evesapphiris.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Some of them were inspired by me just goofing off with friends while others were from going back to #Castlevania roots. It's best to take care of yourself while cracking a good book to read as well. I know I have. Stay safe and creative during the #springseason everyone.🤘🫂

Eve Sapphiris @evesapphiris.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

For the last few months, I've been quiet on here due to taking care of my #mental and #physical #health. But, it hasn't stopped me from going back to some older roots while rocking out to great music. I've been busy with doing #pencil #sketches, hitting up on #creature #conceptart and #portraits.

What was the result of this little experiment, I hear you say with utter curiosity? This was the result, and my goodness did I get CHILLS from reading the speech, but with more of a historical take, as if Richter wrote the account during the period.

After looking back at my art from last year, I can say there was a MAJOR improvement and change with my style. My colors, yes, became bolder, but so has my lighting and line work. I've experimented and are exciting and risky, but worth it. I say cheers to that.🥂🥂 #Blueskyart #Blueskypromo

WIP 2 of Leon's hair, and the front is a lot poofier than before. I love the 'poof' on my head, especially on the bangs. The wefts aren't as visible, but the sides are in need of a touch-up. Leon's hair is such a giant poof.🤣

020

Eve Sapphiris @evesapphiris.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

WIP on Leon's hair. I panicked a little when looking at Leon for the first time. I'm using two wigs for this character, and it's a first. I'd usually use one wig, style it, and call it a day. I'll be adding more to the wig. Think it needs highlights and roots? Oh yeah! Can't go wrong with it.😖

Calling all cosplayers! QRP with your favorite cosplay picture of yours! Well, do I have a story for you. The original plan for #LinkedUniverse Four Swords Link was to go outside, but it was raining. My little brother and I improvised, and we did it on the floor with faux plants and green fabric.

QRP with your header art Uh~ Imma need to update since this was from autumn. Long story short, I have a family tradition where we get lost in corn field maze and shop at the local farmer's market near the giant maze. Best times for me since it's tied with my birthday and Halloween.☺️
