Description
I really loved idea of this meme from the very beginningIt may seems easy, because you don't have to draw anything or write too much here, but it took me amazingly much time... It's really difficult to honestly choose between so many influences to find those the most important. I still have a feeling that this 'map' it not completed and not 100% fair.. but it's the best I came up with now
If you haven't done it yet - take a try! For me it's was a great way to understand myself more.
The best thing is that when you like someone's influence map you probably will fell in love in their gallery. And vice versa... so I hope you'll enjoy mine
Few words before I start explaining: I bypass all Deviantart users in this meme. It would be difficult to choose just few - all people I watch on DA are an infinite source of influence and inspirations and there is too less place t fit them all in this meme
Vision of Escaflovne my favorite anime ever, I created so many characters connected with this anime! ...and I still have a thing for Van, one I wish I could be on Hitomi's place
Battle Angel Alita funny thing is that I have never read this manga, but I always was impressed by the style it was drawn. So expressive! ..and this hairstyle I started to use for my OC Silha
A. Mucha great artist, I always liked his artworks, but also artworks done digitally that are stylized to look like A. Mucha's
RPG games most of my non-horse characters were used in RPG games, their story and personalities were created within the games.
Horse riding riding a horse, working with this beautiful animal always created a lot of images in my imagination
Fantasy and myths all creatures that appears in my artworks - fairies, elves, centaurs...
Mother nature this slot probably should be bigger - there is so many inspiration around!
Horses separately from horse riding, because to look at free horses is completely different experience, they look so wild that sometimes it's difficult to imagine how people can ride on them
Slayers another anime series that influenced me a lot - I loved to draw characters from Slayers once, I also was writing a story that in the Slayers universe
Pin-ups these are probably created for men, but how to not love those beautiful women? Not only body, their faces are also adorable and sweet
Lineage 2 MMORPG game I played for longest time, all designs from L2 are so inspiring (especially armors and clothes)
Furiae yes, she is also on Da, but I knew her works much before I joined this site. Not more to say, her works are just magical
CLAMP mostly Chobits (the only manga I have bought, it should mean something ;3) but also other productions

Escaflowne!! Are you serious? Aomori I love you! hehe, and I didn't even know you liked anime. Escaflowne is one of my all time favorite animes. Woot, and you like Clamp too? Awesome.
I have grown to love Mark J. Barrett and did you know he has another website with larger photos? [link] I think there's some new ones on there too.
I love the photo under horse riding. It looks so magical. Sometime I think I'm most defiantly going to have to do this meme.

Escaflovne will always be my favorite I think, there is no any anime now that might create so big impact on me ^_^ I can't find myself in today's popular anime series.. Naruto, Bleach I'm not sure is it me who changed or it's the anime
it's great to hear that you liked it too ^_^
...and thank you for this link with M.J. Barret photos! This gallery is sooo much better than the older one. I had no idea of its existence!

I'm still caught up in Naruto, but I think I liked it more at the beginning of the series. I miss the good old Sasuke. I gave up on Bleach because I just couldn't seem to really get into it and their long battles were driving me crazy.
Oh you're welcome. I just discovered that new website about a week ago, and it's so cool because you can even create an account and save your favorite photos on there. Just make sure you keep the link to the old website though because I noticed some of the old photos aren't on the new site.

MUCHA FAN!!! He's such a gret artist, I wish I could draw like him!

AonikaArt In reply to Gwynhwyfer [2010-08-28 15:16:18 +0000 UTC]
I'd like to be able to draw like him too His paintings looks like easy thing to do - a lot of pretty swirls and beautiful women in centre... but in reality they are not

Gwynhwyfer In reply to AonikaArt [2010-08-29 02:06:26 +0000 UTC]
Oh, I know. It seems so... effortless. I tried once, and actually LAUGHED at the outcome. He's one of my idols, and I think I shall practice drawing like him for my graduating year...
My art teacher is big on emulating famous artists, so... He also thinks I should feature dA artists...
Gotta love his open mind.

it soudns like a nice idea... I wonder how it would end to draw a horse in Mucha's style, what do you think?

Gwynhwyfer In reply to AonikaArt [2010-08-29 15:01:39 +0000 UTC]
Ooooh, I think a Mucha horse would be stunning. I already tend to draw flowy, curly manes kinda like Mucha, so... Maybe that can be my next step. Can't believe I hadn't thought of that before, thanks!

I heard about Aion, it looks beautiful But recently I have no patience for MMORPG games and I'm not getting used to them, so Lineage probably will stay my fave

I wrote about Alfons Mucha in a school project once. Because my mom is from the Czech Republic I decided to take him he really was great..

you probably know much more about him than I do, I'm letting myself to simply adore his works
