Description
done for character design per assignment. I'll be nice and explain how these affect me.

Tetsuya Nomura - more of an under the hood subtle thing, my costume designs carry a ton of his influence

Tim Burton - more readily apparrent, designs, themes, kookiness

CreatureBox (the Ratchet & Clank boys) - unhinged creativity with creatures and weapons, more of an aspirational influence

Don Bluth - sense of motion and expressions, moreso with his super creepy monsters and villains. (I almost put his version of Eve up here for kicks/giggles)

Spirou - kind of a representing the european comics front, but these guys (especially the tome & janry run) had wonderful sense of motion through design. Really shows in my loose doodles

Disney - of course they're up there. they influence everyone. But Robin Hood, 101 Dalmations, Sword in the Stone, and Jungle Book have considerably more influence over my art than anything else. Milt Kahl's animations are stuff I uber look up to.

Joe Mad (by extension Blizzard) - big things. I always have my characters with exaggerations ... be it proportions, clothing, props, whatever. Plus he seems to pull of EPIC very well

Bruce Timm (via Batman TAS) - heavy reliance on shapes, and a tendency to give my girl characters a 12 inch waist. -shrug- Very very solid designs

Phillip Jackson - someone pointed this out to me, but just similar sense of humor and themes. Also great expressions and one-off gags.

Calvin and Hobbes - Of course Bill Watterson influenced me. He influenced everyone. Most of my backgrounds carry the same cartoonish arcs to the sets.

Frank Cho - willingness to blatantly mix styles, mainly. Also most of my expressions on more realistic humans come from him.

Capcom - the older titles (when Capcom had a reliable design theme) are super apparent in my drawings. The faces and heavy reliance on capcom hair are some the key points.

Chuck Jones - more than the other looney tunes creators, this guy's expressions and sense of comedy carry over

Norman Rockwell - a more subtle thing, this really exhibits itself when I'm drawing stuff for fun. He had a great way of telling the subtle humor and story found in the ordinary.

Mike Mignola - if I draw animals, Mike takes over. Also my decisions for level of detail mainly come from his impressionistic approach.

There ya go.
