So here's my Influence Map!

I really recommend this to any artist, It will help with artist block and motivation to have everything that inspires you in one place like this!!!

-Art Credits and elaboration-

-Hiromu Arakawa as an artist in general, but particularly for her work on FullMetal Alchemist.

-Katsura Hoshino also an artist in general. DGM is my favorite manga series, and I very much enjoy BOTH art styles she uses, as due to an injury to her hand, there was a drastic stylistic change part-way through the series. That perseverance alone is also an inspiration, art aside.

-Alex Pardee is one of the only non manga/anime influences I can really note in my art and one whom I look to often. His art is about expression and release. I've met him personally at Dragon*Con, where I first discovered him. 

-Dramatical Murder's Artist (who's name is confusing as she only has a Pixiv. Kantala Sakura?) The art is just absolutely beautiful and I draw inspiration in the CG, hair and hand drawing.

-Kazuki Takahashi is a childhood inspiration as the creator of Yugioh. I REALLY love everything about the art style but it is also nostalgic. Pretty arms and eyes.

-Happyds here on tumblr! They were one of the first artists I followed on here. I love the anatomy work.

-The Legend of Zelda- Although there are many art styles for this franchise, LOZ is another childhood inspiration. I draw from the setting and fantasy aspects of the game mostly in regards to idea rather than physical style, but the art for Hyrule Warriors is my favorite so far!

-Uberzers on Deviantart is a really old idol of mine. I don't follow much of their work anymore but I can still see their influence evident in my own.

-CaptainCrapster here on Tumblr is another artist I've looked up to for a long time! Mostly for their more cartoony and less anime styled stuff.

-Harvest Moon similarly to LOZ is a game taking place in a fantasy setting. It's much simpler, but the same elements regarding gods, goddesses, nature and 'olden time' stuff applies. Also the chibi style is adorable. 

-Kazuki Nakashima is a huge inspiration, mainly for his writing of Gurren Lagann. Not much to say. So much respect. Love the dynamic.

-Akira Toriyama is a giant inspiration as the Dragon Ball Z author and artist. The manga I find is a lot less angular and simplified than the anime. A very impressive style that I love and draw from.

-Lasty, and my most early inspiration, Ken Sugimori. Pokemon was my biggest influence in general as a child, the Gameboy Color game "Crystal" literally more or less teaching me how to read. I watched the show from before I can even recall and my first drawings EVER were heavily and almost solely because I was inspired by Pokemon and Sugimori. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be the artist I am right now.

Even though we don’t talk usually- I’LL LISTEN?? ;A;
