influence map

joining bandwagon of `fox-orian's meme
When doing this I was like OMG wtf influences me other than like drawing horny guys ;D so I have no idea XD;
Mostly it's mangaka and crap some are old influences but they helped create my style and character looks today. Also they're not especially more favourable than one thing other than the likes of fujino and d=out and one piece I guess.
There's no DA artists because it's pretty much friends that influence my work and spur me to improve so that would be like all the boxes XD.

Anyway here they are

1. Hideaki Sorachi - mangaka I seriously freaking love gintama and this guy is genius. One of my manga idols for sure.

2. Yoshitaka Amano - Artist known for Vampire Hunter D and Final Fantasy illustration

3. Fujino Akitsugu - Artist famed for nitro+chiral doujinshi. Quite possibly she is my fav artist with her ability to draw such super hot guys and her humour is absolutely the best. If I ever do make manga I really aspire to have her perfect blend of good art and crack humour XD. Also just in general I love her art so much.

4. Yoko Matsushita - mangaka of yami no matsuei.

5. Eiichiro Oda - mangaka and ultimate manga idol of mine! One Piece is by far my fav series and I love Oda's style for its uniqueness and the fact no character looks the same something I agree with when it comes to character design. *yes I know lots of mine have the same hair XD but i try to put some differences in them*

6. Kana Tatana - Artist of nitro+chiral fame up until 2006 though I like Seiji Onitsuka too.

7. Shigenori Soejima - Artist of Persona 3 and 4

8. Clamp - mangaka everybody knows clamp lol.

9. Kaori Yuki - mangaka most noted for angel sanctuary, godchild and Earl Cain

10. Blazblue/Guilty Gear - I was a huge fan of Guilty Gear and the designs inspired me A LOT then along came blazblue and I'm in love all over again XD.

11. Japanese punk/lolita fashion - this is the basis of my character clothing half the time I love both punky stuff such as sexpot revenge, bernings sho and algonquins and then the mens EGL such as black peace now and such. I'm particularly a fan of this type of dress the frills and long coat type stuff.

12. Yana Toboso - mangaka of kuroshitsuji. Really love kuroshitsuji's style I just never talk about it cos the fanbase is pretty crazy XD.

13. Tetsuya Nomura - Artist famous for Final Fantasy works.

14. Ayami Kojima - Artist famed for Castlevania artwork.

15. Takuji Kawano - Artist mostly known for Soul Calibur and Tekken artworks.

16. Visual kei - visual kei *an aesthetic form of Japanese rock music* is probably the biggest influence. Most of all I use the hair and makeup and looks of pretty men in my art vk hair is the best real life reference for hairstyle I tell you XD. Anyway the band is d=out (dauto) my fav of them all whose music also influences me to draw. Kouki's (blonde guy) hair especially influences my own characters hairstyles if you can't tell.


OTL this influence map is pretty wapanese XD;
