The dominance of the Empyrean race continued on strong through the 125 years known in the art world as the Hupatos Period. Artists still worked largely in the Empyrean figure, portraying the beauty and grace of their people, but they began to work in portraiture, capturing the image of a specific individual in their work. Many of those preserved were the highest of nobility, political figures of importance and great military leaders. The common Empyrean was rarely even considered in such works, the artists hoped that their works would be appreciated and purchased by those they captured in stone or on the side of a vase. A few artists were even commissioned by different families or houses to work strictly for them, though this was a very rare practice that would not be seen in abundance until the later periods.

Sculptors began to better study the Empyrean form and the columnar figures of the Kronian period were soon replaced with more realistic looking figures. The identical folds in clothing seen in the earlier period is replaced with irregular falling material, playing more off of the figure beneath than in what is ornamentally beautiful to the eye. Lines softened so that one element easily flowed into the next, the distinction of muscle beneath the skin is an excellent example of this change. The figures of stone or metal slowly transformed from simple portraits to figures in motion, though this would be greater perfected in the upcoming periods.

Vase painting reached its pinnacle in the Hupatos period. The images are given more depth, more dimension as if there is a distance in the work rather than the single line that was seen in the Kronian period. Painters as well gave more life and movement to their figures, paying careful attention to the distribution of weight in movement and the motion and fall of clothing around each figure. The decoration itself became more elaborate as well and some painters even incorporated gold into their works, though these were crafted only by the most accomplished of artists and purchased and used by the highest in Empyrean society.

The later years of the Hupatos period saw the emergence of mural painters, though the images were not much different than those seen on the vases of the period. Figures were rather still and each was outlined to define its form; the use of shading would come into play in the Apollonic period. The color palette strayed little from the whites, reds and blacks seen in vase painting, a few greens and blues appeared, but these did not come into wide use until very near the end of this period.
