Nikoletta Kyprianou, has been working as a freelancer, as well as an in-house Illustrator and graphic designer, but is always eager to learn and evolve and she appreciates the challenge of versatile briefs and projects at hand. As an Illustrator, she truly enjoys creating detailed and intricate worlds and characters and is inspired by symbolism, vintage etchings, and vignette drawings by the old masters. As one of her favorite quotes go, “I don’t know where I’m going, but I can’t wait to get there”

Sophia aka Merenta, is a 19 year old Cyprus based graphic design student and a 2D artist. She went through a lot of phases such as realism, portraits, animal drawings, furry art, yet now she is focusing on digital art mostly with video game and anime themes. Being a professional artist and make a living from it has always be her life goal and is doing her best to achieve it day by day.
Merenta has started taking her career more seriously from around 2019, by doing commissions, studies, and in general trying to get her art to a more advanced level. Drawing is the only thing that she can see herself doing as a career,as its not only an interest but a huge passion.
Her main priority at the moment besides improving, is to attend conventions where she can start selling her art and meet new people who are interested or like her work, and if she sees interest in her country, she is planning to attend other conventions outside of Cyprus in the future.

Pixyfer
Rafaella aka Pixyfer , 30 years old, the tiny tattoo apprentice of Bad Choices Tattoo Club. She has been drawing for 18 years (a young adult age). Her art journey began because of my obsession with anime, and that eventually grew into a huge admiration for Fine Art, Illustration and Tattoos. Evidently she studied Fine Arts in the UK, graduated in 2014. During her studies she began to dream of following my true aspiration, a career in the Tattoo Industry but that didn’t pan out then, instead she fell into quicksand spiraling with little and big demons (insert drawing of silly little demons with pitchforks stirring me into quicksand) the more she struggled the more stuck she got, when she accepted my fate a fairy angel warrior queen gave me the sword of destiny *read this in a very extravagant way here* and she didn’t know she kinda realized that she’s also a fairy angel warrior queen, making the realization those demons were just scared.. so she became their friend and we have been vibing since and facing things together. She also has a dream of one day making up a silly comic since She has a flair for the dramatic and has stories swimming inside her brain.
She also sometimes streams art on Twitch. Things she find inspiring , well my cats, she’s a cat mom hence starting the series ‘Demon Cats’. She is hugely inspired by all the artists that she work with they are *chefs kiss* Google Bad Choices Tattoo Club right now, work by illustrators like Pixkefir and Zeenchin is insane.

Kancer The Crab
Kancer The Crab (Michael Yukis) might look like your usual guy but in reality he’s a human shaped kaiju controlled by a crab. Source: trust me bro. If you don’t believe us the just look at the bold creativity within his work!
Michael forges a path through the design world with art insipired directly from video games, anime, spaghetti westerns and internet culture of the 90s and 2000s. And sometimes even hentai.
These posters serve as a medium for Kancer to weave his own mini stories, exploring themes of life’s struggles and triumphs while keeping some other work focused more on the comical aspect of life.
With a keen eye for emotional depth (cleavage) and a touch of humor(memes), he uses his artwork to reflect on personal experiences, societal issues, and the ever-evolving landscape of internet culture.
Now, Michael is returning back out of his shell into another Cyprus Comic Con, ready to bring the pain for the second time.
