Influence Map 2.0

The old one was outdated, and I wanted one that really reflected the styles that still show in my art today.


Miiroku - One of the first artists I ever discovered online, through their Youtube animations. I picked one of Blue's older, Warriors-related pieces, as that was the type that I took the most inspiration from.
_{Influence can be seen in animals, especially fur on cheeks and head.}


VCR-WOLFE - A newer influence. Vinny's colors and character variety constantly inspire me, as well as little things like brush settings and anatomy.
_{Influence can be seen in humans, especially hair and body variation, as well as design and color.}


Andy Warhol - Another new favorite. As my dad is a huge fan of pop art, Warhol's always been present in my life, but only after watching a documentary on his commercial work this year did I really begin to enjoy it.
_{Influence can be seen in work in which lineart is done after color.}


Rumiko Takahashi (Inuyasha) - Before I watched/read Inuyasha, I basically never drew humans. I tried to copy Rumiko Takahashi's style and, though the outcomes certainly weren't good, I began to stray from cats and dogs bit-by-bit.
_{Influence can be seen in clothes, as well as general human anatomy.}


forte-girl7 - Rumiko Takahashi might've taught me to draw humans, but Forte taught me how to draw humans. Her Portal work - especially her portrayal of the character Wheatley - constantly drove me to practice drawing humans. 
_{Influence can be seen in human facial structure.}


Superjail! - Particularly the exaggerated style of the show's second season. This show helped me fine-tune the way in which I drew humans, and actually caused me to draw humans more often than I did cats or dogs.
_{Influence can be seen in human facial structure, eyes, and expressions.}


Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim Series) - O'Malley's use of black and white, as well as his linework, make him one of my favorite artists to date. Simple, concise, and terribly funny, the Scott Pilgrim box set has a very special place on my bookshelf.
_{Influence can be seen in human proportion, and occassionally eyes.}


Kichaa - Kichaa is another of my all-time favorite artists. Their characters and jokes are never not funny to me, and the visual humor used is superb.
_{Influence can be seen in expressions and color.}


Pokemon - Need I say more? It's Pokemon.
_{Influence can be seen in the fact that I draw at all.}


brewhay - In a time when I believed that an artist had to stick to one specific style, my desire to exploit a cartoonish hilarity like hers whilst still retaining realism finally broke me.
_{Influence can be seen in eyes and "comedy."}
