MY ARTFIGHT!

This is a very difficult question. I don't think I can rank top 5.

Gorillaz is my favourite band ever, and 19-2000 is my favourite Gorillaz album.

Cats and Little Shop of Horrors are my favourite musicals.

Some artists/bands I like:

Ghost

They Might be Giants

Cocteau Twins

The Smiths

Fleetwood Mac

TV Girl

These are kind of basic though, sorry. I mostly listen to specific songs rather than artists, you know?

Here's my Spotify if anyone wants to looks at my playlists 😢

I have a few OC themed playlists that I think are pretty cool!

Oh man… I could talk about this for a while.

I’ll just talk about Sam because he is the most interesting.

so when sam was first created, (a few years ago) he was named Idiot. This is because he was originally based off of the “you are an idiot” virus. His original personality was very different. I was very into a specific genre of game at the time, I’m not sure how to describe it… some examples include the game “your boyfriend” and “John doe,” both of which went into the character a lot. I was also really into helluva boss at the time, which influenced my art style a lot. I think he was supposed to be horror-esque as well? He also didn’t get his rabbit ears until pretty recently.

here is helpful diagram that includes some never-before-seen art of Sam from 2023!

Yeah he definitely looks different now.

My more current inspirations for the character lean more towards cartoonists or artists simple styles that I see online, stuff like that. Sam & Max is the first piece of media that comes to mind. Sam is honestly the most similar to me that any of my characters are. He is more similar to me than my fursona, which might be a bad thing. So a lot of his personality comes from me.

@/rogdona is an artist that inspires me a lot. Just had to mention them!

RAPID FIRE TIME!

Charley was inspired by the mandalorian, cowboy stuff, and maybe classic detective characters. He is, in my mind, a mishmash of many different animals, including owl, snake, hawk, and crocodile. He is supposed to be from a desert species.

Mack was originally a clown burlesque performer, but he evolved into another pseudo-desert dwelling character, a city runaway! He is also my only outlet for my transgender feelings. He is based off of a yellow star!

Hattie is supposed to be like a vampire squid/octopus. They are kind of also based off of my ex girlfriend, which is weird. They are also a painter.

Johnny and Sasha are both supposed to be bugs. They are also both supposed to be like bikers or rockers. Sasha is based on rave culture, Johnny is based on the bad boy biker character.

Dirt Grimes, who I never draw, is just supposed to be a depressed private investigator. He is based off of the hard-boiled detective character type. He is very brutalist-architecture inspired, also.

Simon/Square, who I NEVER draw (like ever), is kind of based off of Lyle from Look Outside. Simon isnt a character with much substance though.

Onion City itself was originally based off of Kowloon Walled city.

Currently, one of my biggest inspirations is Disco Elysium, which I haven’t played yet, but hopefully will soon. Whenever I think about it’s world building I get a crazy boost to my creative motivation.

Well, I hope some of this makes sense. It’s hard to explain my internal creative process, I guess. Hope you enjoyed!
