I'm over at my mom's for the weekend and so I thought I'd just construct an influence map or something. I DID IT REALLY QUICK but it's all the things that's really have inspired/influenced me in the past years. I might have forgotten some things though. I might throw this into scraps later.
1. Avatar The Last Airbender. This mainly influenced my view of storytelling and concept. ohgod the artwork of scenery and intense moments are inspiring I can't even /foams/
2. Music. Pretty much most genres ranging from Metal, hardrock, rap, jpop, alternative and all sorts of things. Just influences my ideas of story and character development as well as executing through artworks.
3. The Legend of Zelda. YEEEEEEEEEEeesssssssssssssssss ohgoodness I have so many places to start with zelda. Fantasy always gets to me and Zelda is one of the first series or games I've gotten into as a kid and stuck with me since. All the artwork people make for it and the history and concept are very deep and it grabs my attention like no other. I'm a sucker for stories with so much beyond the surface.
4. MY FRIENDDDSSSSS Forever yes, their opinions and support are one of the best influences. and even their own artwork and characters inspire me so much. They are pretty much everything to me aaaaa
5. *TamberElla's sense of colour, lighting, anatomy and story telling are inspiring in every way. I'm so surprised at how amazing their work is at their age, they are INCREDIBLE. They have always inspired me to improve faster and learn more from their tutorials and someday I hope I can get a good sense of colour as they've got it.
6. *Jubilations has been a long long time inspiration for me and the few times I've talked with her personally she was the sweetest more reassuring person to me. I love her characters and how her artworks has so much life to it. It's as if when I see an image I can see what it's going to do next so vividly and see the emotion behind it. She's always been so full of character and she'll continue to be a big inspiration.
7. *HamletMachine is pretty much the same way as Jubilations. Though for someone who draws a lot of porn they are the sweetest person you will ever meet, they would honestly never want to harm anyone and they are so greatful for their supporters. She's got anatomy down the bone and can draw every angle ever imaged, like goddamn their sense of anatomy is astonishing. She inspires me in expression, art, anatomy, comics, and kindness.
8. `noseSHARK I've followed for a while and I am INLOVE with their cartoony art. It has it's own sense of realism yet its in it's own fluid and lively style and the characters are so full of life and are so diverse and creative. Every time she uploads something I end up getting lost in her gallery and never have I felt so inspired to improve and draw my characters. Their humour is fantastic and they are so down to Earth.
9. *tysonhesse is my art, background and comic inspiration. I learned a lot of techniques just by following his work and applies it to my own and I was able to improve on expression and backgrounds. someday I hope I can be able to create comics as visually appealing as what he's created and give life to all my works as he does in every image. His animations are also to die for as well.
10. Southpark/Gore This should be seperate but they also go together ahaha I'm a SUCKER for gore as well as Southpark, so I love to put them together. I have such an affinity for South Park guro that no one will ever understand. The humour and the fandom can make these characters super deep but so can the creators. AndyesIshipthehelloutofsouthparkcharactersgoaway
11. Silent hill 1-4. I probably dig deeper into this series then people should. I spend so much time researching and looking into the background of silent hill and getting so caught up in the story rather then the actual "OHSHITHORROR" I'm so fascinated with the psychological side of it and the cult. Sure the gameplay makes you want to pull your teeth out and the characters are THE DEEPEST THINGS EVER but I DIGRESS I LOve them and get out
12. Miyazaki films I'm pretty sure this can go without saying. The artwork, animation, story telling, fantasy, everything is beautiful and flawless. AUGUGHH
13. D.Gray-Man SHH OKAY OKAY I LOVE THIS I always have aughh it's the best thing ever and always has been for me. ///sobs/// I've been a fan since 2009 after reading the manga and it's always had an influence on my work, whether people can notice it through character or other nonscenical things. If you ever catch anything I'll throw you a bag of cookies. This may not be the greatest anime in the world and it's probably lame in reality though to me the artwork (mainly in the manga), Characters, development, backgrounds, music and just practically everything about it really stirs up inspiration in me and gets ALL OF MY FEELS. It's pretty much everything I love concentrated into one series if you WANT TO KNOW WHAT I LIKE. The amount of Death, pain, emotions, background and kick in the balls this series throws at you really HITS MY HEART. OKAYY??? It's not something I ever brought up with people before hand since I've had a bad habit of hiding things I adore with people so they don't get ruined for me in the long run. (ex, South Park, Silent hill, etc) I've just been really good about keeping D.Gray-man under covers UNTIL LATELY AUGH. but alas
These are other artists that inspire me as well
Sorry for typos and such I don't have firefox right now :C
ENJOY MY RAW FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.
again might through in scrapslol
ENJOY THIS TILL I CAN DO MORE ART AGAIN...I'm going to bed
Yakul! Derp! Sucks in air* How awesome would it be it there where Southpark gore zombies that the Miyazaki Heroes/Heroines and Zelda Heroes/Heroines had to fight together! Too awesome...
AWWWWWWWWW
