Description Sypha from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. Sypha is a magic-user that was changed into stone for an indeterminite amount of time by a cyclops. In the game you, as Trevor, fight the cyclops and free Sypha. In the game you don't find out that she's a girl until you beat the game with her. It is pretty much cannon now that Trevor ends up marrying her and the Belmont line continues. Currently, there's a Castlevania cartoon series in the works and they're hiring concept artists. I got to thinking about Sypha. She has very little characterization in the game and very little personality and (not that Trevor's got much either, but...) I was thinking, "they fell in love during this little adventure?!? Um... hello..." I could see Sypha falling in love with Trevor, he rescued her, but there has to be a little more to Sypha for Trever to want to spend the rest of his life with her. So, I was thinking, it's be pretty cool if she was kind of fun. I wanted to draw a Sypha that was pretty and sweet looking but also looked like she knew how to have fun and maybe had a little mischevious streak to her. I could see her character in the cartoon as sort of happy go lucky and enthusiastic... and actually, quite a bit clumsy. My Sypha may look graceful, but she's almost always dropping things. ^_^
Konami owns this character.
Pencil on sketchbook paper. Photoshop coloring.
Edit- Ho ho ho! Wrong game. ^_^; Heh.
Edit again! Two more Simon bombs! Wha-pah! (thas my whip, yo) Anyway, for the last and final time... any more Simons up there? Hm? HMMMM? NO? Didn't think so. Friggin' argh.... -_-; I'm so retarded.

Also Sypha. It was a redesign of her so the left is her normal look and the right is her the cloak open.

mm i have always though of Sypha more like a pious and serious person, devoted but not powerful enough to fell against the minions of Dracula.

Still until there is any conclusive, we can have Sypha whichever way we want still I would hate her portrayed as clumsy or silly...

nice image by the way

no worries
i think that many times you need to know the artist input in an image to really appreciate his intention...

its a shame for me actually when I don't find any...

but aye most people just check the image and move along.

"they fell in love during this little adventure?!? Um... hello..."

Don't think too hard about it. It's an NES game, after all, thus we assume the characters interacted more in their travels than we are shown during gameplay.

Great pic, by the way.

Your Sypha has a better personality, not to mention appearance than the Sypha from Castlevania Judgment. She has huge boobs and she's so bitchy in the game. Makes you wonder how her and Trevor ended up together. O__o Anyway, nice concept art. She looks prettier with a ponytail than her hair loose. Moreover, I agree that there had to be something about her that would make Trevor want to be with her, instead of just continuing on his legacy and having super strong babies. XD

This is by far the best take on Sypha I have encountered.

Great style on her different looks, and I completely by into your personality idea for her...I can totally see that.

Excellent work! Sypha was always my choice in Castlevania 3, even before I realized she was a girl. She just seemed like the perfect counterpart to Trevor in the game. Guess I'm not the only one. I love the shading and the monument behind her.

AmberStoneArt In reply to sets-child [2008-02-29 20:12:26 +0000 UTC]

Thankees. ^^ She was fun to draw. I actually haven't ever played the games except SOTN, and the two for PS2... and the uh... ones on the DS a little... but I've watched my boyfriend play and his obsession with them has leaked into my life. I drew that pic when he was bugging me about the Castlevania cartoon coming out.

Love your concept!! So few drawings of Sypha this day worth looking at!!! All I can say is that evryone has their own version of how Sypha would be, in my case, she d be something like Raven form Teen Titans!! But hey thats my point of view!! Great piece!! Can I taje her home?

AmberStoneArt In reply to areliusmars [2007-08-26 02:57:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. ^_^ I appreciate it. ^_^ I was having fun drawing this. In the game, yeah, I'd have to agree with the Raven thing. She's very creepy and secretive. For the anime, though, they've already got serious Simon (or which ever it is... -_-; ) and way grumpy Alucard. I thought it might be better if Sypha was more bouncy and fun.
And you can take her home. ^_~

I was too lazy to read the description, because I obviously have better things to do, like sit around and whine at friends on AIM that I'm bored. No, just kidding. I read it, hehe.

I love what you choose to draw, really.

-_-; Hrm... Dunno how to answer that one. I'm extremely impatient and like things done quickly. I hate over-doing things, I'm also extremely disorganized and horribly scattered, BUT.... -_-; I also went to OfficeMax 5 times in the course of 3 days trying to get 3 simple pictures to print correctly and the last time I modified the pic, saved three different copies and printed each one, chose the one I liked best and had it reprinted. So... -_-; in some ways... yeah.... I am... in others? .... -_-; not so much. That and my books and dvds are all alphabetized and in chronological order but the rest of my house is a complete mess. Total chaos.
