Sylvia Innocent

Sylvia Innocent is a Black 2D artist and illustrator based in Chicago. Her work blends anime-inspired aesthetics with semi-realistic character design, focusing on bold, emotionally expressive characters and visually striking compositions.

Influenced by artists like Satoshi Kon, Takeshi Obata, and Guweiz, Sylvia creates characters that feel confident, stylized, and full of presence. She often explores themes of identity, irony, and power through vibrant color, layered storytelling, and strong visual contrasts.

Her illustrations are rooted in digital media and draw from surreal, cinematic, and femme-driven influences. Each piece aims to capture a sense of personality and narrative tension, inviting the viewer into a world where emotion and attitude take center stage.
