Influence Map

Description

Finally found some time to visit my account here and go through the backlog of deviations on my watch-list.

Came across this influence map and felt like working on mine. :)

I actually didn't realise there were rules (like only 1 3x3 square, 2...etc.) but my end product actually kind of matched up. Lol.

My foremost insipration/influence would be CLAMP.
I've been reading their manga and watching their anime for almost 10 years, and I loved their growth in art. Their details are impeccable, characters unique, styles ever evolving and inspiring.
My taste for details was grown from their artworks. ;3

I'm also crazy about Kim Hyung Tae's art.
His characters and style especially, are always a joy to discover. It's amazing how he gets inspired by various things and moulds them into cool outfits and gadgets for his characters.

Alphonse Mucha and Kay Neilson are masters I learn from.

Photography, fashion and dolls are a range of things I'm exposed to on a daily basis. They're my constant inspirations, giving me flashes of colour, concepts and omgwtf moments.

Kouyu Shurei inspired my gothic lolita art period. I loved her works in Alichino, bought her manga so I could keep her art forever, and tried to apply her traits to my art in one period of time. I drew my series of vampires in a style inspired by hers.

Audrey Kawasaki was one of the first few modern artists that I was introduced to while going through fashion art. I found her girl characters beautiful and like her style of painting on textured wood.

Movies always are eye openers. They transport me into different worlds with their buildings, roads, ages and styles.

Disney is another influence. Their backgrounds were gorgeous, characters and fluid animation a big wonder for me. I always felt a need to keep their videos because of the beautiful storytelling together with art.

Also, various artists I follow all over are another set of inspiration for me. I used to surf Japanese and Korean artists' websites and save up so many of their artworks my hard disk could burst. I have more than 50 links on these artists, gods, and more from Pixiv. @_@

Anyway, I hope I get back into drawing again soon. I've only been able to sketch randomly, and paint randomly, but never got around to producing complete works.

I hope, soon.
