Creator of SCP: Essence Of Water CREATOR | ARTIST | VA | 🇺🇸 | NEURODIVERGENT

[8th-circle]

(Hell-Sent Title Art) Artist: SikolFerigrim

I would like to take a moment to mention a pet project of mine called Hell-Sent. Please find a description of the series below along with some art drawn by myself, an irl friend, and an artist called SikolFerigrim on Instagram.

Brief Story Outline

Maven and Apollo, two childhood friends, reunite to help Apollo escape from the clutches of their abusive step-parents. What begins as a harrowing escape followed by a crusade via vigilante justice, escalates into the discovery of the existence of angelic and demonic factions influencing mankind as part of a conflict where Earth exists as both haven and No Man’s Land.

Approached by fallen angel Ariel, the two are enlisted as part of a team that seeks to remove any ethereal influence over the world, allowing humanity to forge its own path. From the Seventh Circle of Hell to the highest tower of Heaven, Hell-Sent vows to stop the Earth from falling victim into this war, as well preventing the seats of Satan’s power from falling into the wrong hands.

Format

I would love for Hell-Sent to be a serialised comic book available online for digital and physical order purchase.

Hell-Sent will be released in Arc Blocks that work like a Season/Series of a TV show.

Each Arc would be split into multiple Stories with contained and overlapping plots that span multiple 33 page Editions.

I would also love to encourage as many artists to draw for each Story, with individual and unique designs contributing to the plot that is being told.

Wrap-Up

So far, I have the broad strokes of the plot, arcs, and characters, as well as the pilot story comics written. I would love to hear any feedback or interest in seeing this come to fruition. If you’d like to hear more, please let me know, and I’ll post a couple more drops of info at a later date.

Thank you!

GOC template Version

Never a better time to redesign my Jacobs than when an official design drops hehe.. sorry to the people following me for plaguemask, I’m going insane over EOW right now

I really liked the idea of him having facial scars, so I went a little crazy (slight horror art at the bottom)

I think him having a glasgow smile from the encounter with The Viscount would be really interesting🤭I haven’t seen a lot of SCP characters who wear face masks either, so after joining the foundation, he began wearing a medical mask to seem more “professional”. It also helped hide when he was growing in a beard so Hillard wouldn’t recognize him hehehe I miss you Hillard please come home

Aside from that, I didn’t change much. His hair is a little more brown (rather than before when he was dirty blonde), and I made him a bit younger. I absolutely LOVE his canon design though hehe, the facial scars was such a cool choice..

The Viscount fucked his shit UPPPP

deciding to have a black woman character & making one of her core personality traits 'a sensitive savage' sure is A choice

Mae isn’t a black woman. She’s Thai.

She also has traits based on a real-life person who has vetted the description given in the bio as being reflective of herself. This includes her temperament, being both sensitive and savage. This is further outlined by the descriptions listed afterwards that appear to have been missed in your brief scan of the bio.

I would recommend maybe not passing judgement on a character (or their descriptions) before you really know anything about them. Keep in mind, this is just a teaser for her character, which we are not going to describe to you to a T for approval.

Thank you. :)

A polite PSA: For those sending anonymous questions to my co-writer on his Tumblr, and anyone viewing the current teaser content put out there for EOW.

You guys know nothing of what's to come, nor all the lore and depth of each character yet. You've only seen the 3 primary characters out of 10+. I will reiterate that "Thai" is short for Thailand. That's an Asian ethnicity. Not Black / African. And yes, Thai Asians can have tan or dark skin. Not all Thai people are fair in complexion.

Some fictional characters have parts of IRL creators in them. As for Mae [REDACTED] she's Thai because I am Thai IRL. Shouldn’t have to explain this.

Even O5Jacobs has parts of ClownPrinceofCrime in him but nobody seems to have any questions or things to pick out with that, nor focus on race🤭

Let it be known that some characters can have parts of the author or creator in them, but not so much where it could be classified as a literal self-insert (where every single part of the person in real life is implemented into the fictional character in their world).

Dr. Clef, Dr. Elias Shaw (formerly Bright), and many other veteran SCP authors who are famously known, are actually closer to being classified as self-inserts in the SCP fandom, yet I don’t believe anyone complained. For Mae being a POC (Thai) who's also queer, nitpicking small parts of her and claiming it's an interesting choice for personality, assuming she’s black and making an issue out of nothing, isn't really smart.

This is why I don’t accept anonymous questions. ☕️

[sapphiricmae]

Since I’m new to tumblr and slowly adapting on how to use this app, I will only be checking the primary hashtags for Essence of Water. ANY social media platform I will post on will preferably be 2 hashtags (since I don’t want to cause confusion or slap on too many).

I think #essenceofwater and #scpeow should be the 2 primary hashtags for any and all related content for this SCP series, anywhere online.

Adding “eowmae” “eowaiden” or “eowjacobs” might add a bit of complications since it’s easier to use the first two hashtags as the central way to find EOW stuff. I want to be concise as possible when posting. From now on I will only be checking those two hashtags when looking up any questions, engagement, or media others decide to post for EOW.

So excited for scp: EoW!

[xilaery]

I gave up on anatomy...forgive me its acutally so bad but im so tired from this week

I'm pretty happy with these designs (MUCH happier with Jacobs, took a lot of inspo from eow as well as what y'all suggested, so thank you!), gave Watch some more pronounced scars from his MTF era + a clear overview of his sh scars, amnesty is just goreouesjes and uh lambert and his uh...173 boxers...and he uh...he he...hey there...anyways I love going thru random scp files im attached to 492 now

most of this was pretty rushed but 1481's design was updated, 035 didnt change but I just never posted my old drawings of him, 053 in her regular clothes, dont wanna talk about 049, 056 is crackable, i adore mae sm i can't wait for eow !!

Sorry to spam you with questions! Is there anything you can tell us about Mae? like her age or what she’s doing at the foundation🤭

There will actually be a post soon on my YouTube channel, and here on Tumblr that will reveal the 2025 reference sheets I made for Mae, Aiden, and Jacobs. I really can’t spoil too much but the reference sheets will provide a tad bit more info you might be interested in!

[sapphiricmae]

Are there any specific characters or artists who you took inspiration from when making your designs? (For... Mostly all of the characters, I ask this because mae reminds me alot of katara 🥹/pos)

Aha! 😄 I knew someone was going to ask the Katara question. Thank you for being kind when writing this, since I was expecting few people to instantly assume or disregard Mae [REDACTED] to be some sort of cheap Katara knock off from ATLA.

Truthfully, I’ve written this character in a hyper-detailed specific way that makes her a unique humanoid anomaly, so that when she learns and adopts more complex abilities, they evolve. I’ve carefully written out the executive function that her anomalous powers are capable of, while having reasonable limitations. Meaning, she isn’t extremely powerful right off the bat. I won’t be able to specify all of these abilities, until the episodes cover this! Just know that Mae doesn’t only manipulate water or “water bend”! What is shown in the artwork are small windows or teasers of info for EOW.

So, no, there weren’t any inspirations from any particular artist when making the designs for EOW. I wanted to test my own creative abilities and not have to rely on an already existing character as a source for design concepts. Mae looks the way she does because of her Thai / Asian ethnicity.

Sometimes memes tell the story better than I can. :D

I made these aesthetic mood boards last year in 2025.

Mae [REDACTED], O5Jacobs, and Dr. Aiden R. Cadell are the 3 primary characters for Essence of Water! 🌊

[sapphiricmae]

Currently tweaking O5Jacobs’ EOW hair design!

(Slight changes in design might occur with all EOW characters overtime, since my art style is still improving)

[8th-circle]

what opinion, if any do you have on the different interpretations of the characters you created out there? Both in appearance and characterization. There’s a lot of variety amongst peoples different artistic depictions of what we imagine them to look and behave like given their largely faceless status and Jacobs’ biased perceptions.

Additionally, does jacobs actually have a first/ full name? How much of his and Mcrimmon’s lore and backstory will be carried over into this new project?

What is your opinion, if any, on the various scp projects being made currently? (Son of a breach, the confinement continuation, keter labs’ film, scp archives, for example)

And, are there any boundaries you would like to set in the realm of q&a that we should know? Just so nobody asks anything potentially invasive or upsetting on accident.

(super glad to have you back btw)

I am always happy to see/read about different versions of all the characters, honestly. I love seeing what people do with them (within respectable reason). Especially any concept that evolves their characters or introduces ideas that are interesting. I like a little bit of a feedback loop at times which can also help give me ideas to bring new layers of depth to them, and many fans are incredible.

Jacobs’ first name exists (or existed), however it is unimportant to the point where I don’t even know it. I am aware of some name suggestions, and even names that may have been implied by sources closer to Sedition, but I never intended for him to have one.

As for lore and backstory, if you come into Essence of Water with no idea of McCrimmon or Jacobs’ backstory, you’re good. However, nothing in Sedition (up to and including 343’s Sedition) as well as JJ (including lore videos made after deciding I wouldn’t be continuing the series) will be contradicted. It will also not feature much outside of maybe a reference here or there.

I have no real opinions on these series as I haven’t seen them, nor do I really consume much SCP content in general. I’ll applaud anything within the fandom though that has the determination to tell a good story with good characters who aren’t just episodic investments or regurgitations of the research docs.

Happy to be asked anything, just may be more brief on some questions I don’t want to elaborate on.

I’m happy to be back too. Happy to see you all here, and the response has been heartwarming. Thank you. :)

[sapphiricmae]

As much as we are both excited to share my story, we have to keep most things vague or left unanswered until the episodes come out. We’d hate to ruin or spoil too much but sincerely appreciate the interest and inquiries! 💗
