Watchful Shadows by Heather Jewell

Biography: I came to AIMS to gain a greater technical understanding of art since my small high school didn’t have an art program at all! I’ve always loved visual art and animation and used it as my main form of self-expression. A lot of my favorite pieces will often include horror elements and disturbing topics that reflect in my own works. I’ve been inspired heavily by Western cartoons and mangakas. Just a few artists that have influenced me are Jhonen Vasquez, Aida of AidaIro, and Shiwasu Hoshikawa. Some of my favorite things to do are character design, dynamic pose work, and 2D effect animation.
