Finally done this meme-thing ^^ Very interesting one I think, but hard to fill, too much things in my head !!! Looks like a mess really XD
Beware, lots of psychos and (good!) vamps ahead! Ok let's begin the details.

1. Final Fantasy VIII
An incredible game I totally fell in love with and the first final fantasy I ever played. I absolutely loved everything in it. At the time it made me discover a whole new horizon in art, design, concept and so on. It's still such a great source of inspiration for me, even after all these years.

2. Legacy of Kain series
Another amazing games with a unique atmosphere, breathtaking story and design. And a stunning proof, if ever needed one, that vampire stories can still be original.

3. The Joker (and Batman universe)
I love this character. Madness incarnated. Completely demented, but he's so entertaining! In my opinion, the best character ever created in comics. He's the archetype of the psychotic badass.

4. Quentin Tarantino (and my interest in movies in general)
A genius. I'm fascinated by his incredible talents in screenplay and directing. Also a living encyclopedia of the film industry.

5. VIDYA GAMEZ !!!11!1
Quite an obvious one, but couln't elude it. One my oldest and greatest passions, and my actual job

6. Tetsuya Nomura
I really love his designing skills. I wish I could be as creative as he is.

7. KITTEHS 8D....
.....FTW! Being a cat is a way of life, srsly. Nao go get meh sum food, hoomin.
Aside from that, animals and plants are an infinite great source of inspiration.

8. Vampire hunter D bloodlust movie and Vampire hunter D novels
Amazing movie with stunning character graphics and animation, and the story is great too. After watching it I discovered it was a cycle of novels, and I started to read them. I really love the atmosphere depicted in them. Again,very inspiring work.

9. Yoshitaka Amano
Mesmerizing art. Mysterious, elegant and dream-like.

10. Bram Stoker's Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola (and the whole Dracula's myth)
My all time favourite movie. It was love at first sight. Flamboyant gothic, violent, sensual, passionate, and tormented. Just... fascinating. I really started doing research on vampires after watching this movie (and of course reading the original novel). It was the beginning of another of my great passions ^^.

11. Hellsing and Kohta Hirano's drawing style
Vampires, blood and rock'n roll. Dracula as if told by Quentin Tarantino I often said. Stylish and crazy. Awesome.

12. England
I'm fascinated with this country since I'm very young. Listing everything I like about it would be too long, but in a nutshell, I'm especially interested in the victorian era and urban legends in London. It's also where some of my favourites actors are coming from.
Moreover, it's the glorious homeland of rock!

13. Tim Burton
When I first watched Vincent, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, I felt like I were struck by lightning. You know, the kind of fascination you get when you re-watch a movie countless times and still be intrigued by it.
Even if I don't think his later movies are as strong as they used to be, he definetely influenced my art.

14. Ayami Kojima
I love her style, even if her sense of proportions is quite weird sometimes. She really does gorgeous and delicate art. A classic.

15. Japanese Arts and Culture
Like England, I'm strangely and strongly attracted by this country since my childhood. It's history, traditions, arts, legends, poetry... According to me, a very sophisticated country almost entirely devoted to Art in all kind of shapes.

16. Yôji Shinkawa
A great, great artist I discovered with the awesome Metal Gear series. Very subtle and fluid inkink, just like the old japanese paintings.

17. Mucha
Not very original with this one, but I love Art Nouveau ^^

18. René Lalique
Speaking of Art Nouveau, here's another great artist I love : René Lalique, a french glassblower master and jeweller of the nineteenth century. I love his work with shapes, lights and material.

19. Madame de Pompadour
She had exquisite tastes in art and decoration. Many great pieces of art, sculpture, and architecture were born thanks to her.

20. Devil May Cry
"Crazy Stylish Action !" I truly love how they managed to put together the Divina Commedia, and this Rock'n roll/Cabaret/Jazzy atmosphere. And Dante rocks da world baby.

21. Music
I almost always listen to music when I'm drawing to help me get "in the mood". So I think I can say it greatly influences my art.

22. Tales and legends of the world
I love tales, creatures and myths of the world, I've got a huge collection of books about them. In fact, that's probably the kind of books I'm reading the most.
