Description My influence map. It was so fun to do!

Now, time to credit and explain every block.
And if you get an urge to more know about the
artist, I've added links for everyone of them.

By the way, but for the compilation, I do NOT own
ANY of these drawings above. They belong to the artists
named below.


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" : As my favorite comic series, I've learnt many things, such as what is stlye originality, action-poses, simplicity on the desingns, and humour.

Masashi Kishimoto's "Naruto" : I hate to admit it, but I was a huge Narutard. I used to like Naruto a lot. As any good Anime fanboy out there, I drew over and over. Naruto helped my as a main booster on taking drawing seriously, a few anatomy things, and noses. I just love how does Masashi Kishimoto draws noses.

RedQueen Ai : One of my biggest influences. She helped me finding my own style. (Which is still in development) She helps me with minor details, and many tips every now and then. One of my main sources of crit. She has helped me a lot to improve.

Explosom.net "Cyanide & Happiness" : When I go all sketchy and draw stickmen, I draw them the C&H style. Also, the kind of really dumb humour has helped me on creating my own... Though it's not as funny as I wished.

`alexds1 : Another big influence. When I first saw one of his drawings, I was amused. I've learnt many stuff on his tutorials, such as expressions, poses, and of course, finding an original style. He's one big artist.

Udon Crew and CAPCOM : CAPCOM could be the best Videogame Company out there. One of my favorite things about CAPCOM is their art, which mainly comes from the Udon Crew. I just enjoy staring all day-long at those badassed drawings.

Egoraptor : As for exaggerated expresions and humour, and yet again, originality. He's awesome.

Jessica L. T. "Roy-Chibi" : Also one of my biggest influences. She taught me a basic way to sketch, bases, and a little of style. She helped me a lot back then, when I couldn't draw a thing without copying it. And it's because of her why do I started taking drawing more seriously, besides Naruto. (Fun Fact: I met her when I was at my highest Narutard point.)

Yashichirō Takahashi's "Shakugan no Shana" : I hate Anime, but this one is an exception. I love the story, the strange feeling of both awkwardness, action and love. It has influenced me over my Anime style, style that later would turn into something more or less "Original".

Coldplay : Aaah. My favorite band. Coldplay is my main inspirational source. I love them songs. I just love how does the "Fly away, to your colourful world" message gets to me every time I listen to them, and how do they have a song for everything (Or that's just me fan-boy'ing there.) My favorite drawing songs are "Death and All His Friends" and "Strawberry Swing", both from the Viva la Vida Album.

Namco's "Tales of Symphonia : My favorite GameCube game. My only Character (So far) Dai, is strongly influenced by this game's main character, Lloyd Irving. Love the story, love the anime-middle age-magic context.

Lionhead Studios' "Fable II" : Mainly clothings and weapons. Basically the same as TOS.

Camelot's "Golden Sun" : Same as TOS and Fable II. I started liking the whole "Elemental" shit here.


My Mother : She keeps a binder with all of my drawings starting since I was 3 to the date. She gave me the basics. She taught me how to draw, she taught me what art is. My mother is the main reason of why do I draw.

I hope you actually read all of that.
And a huge, big assed "THANK YOU" (note the caps.)
for all the people who has helped me to become what I am now.

Nothing else to say now...
