Hello, my name is Nova (or Rose) Scott. I am a queer artist based in the Chicago suburbs. Growing up, I was homeschooled and developed a love for complex characters and worlds through the media I consumed. This has become a passion of mine since I believe fictional stories can greatly help people, because oftentimes we can feel and relate to what characters are going through.

​

Animation has always been a personal favorite medium of mine for storytelling, and I found that the way I love to help this process is through the use of color and lighting to set the mood and feelings of a scene.

​

I've always been self-motivated when it came to learning about art, animation and storytelling. I opted out of going to college in favor of specialized online classes like Marc Brunet's digital art course, Misha Oplev's visdev course and Animation Club School's animation production pipeline course.

​

In my free time I enjoy reading, going out in nature, cosplaying at conventions, playing videogames, and goofing around with friends.
