Description
ok, so the new year is almost here, but instead of art summary I figured I better come up with influance map! I really haven't done this for years! the old influance map back from 2010 is a bit outdated, it was way back when I really started digging into digital art... so hopefully this will cover the most asked question like 'what is your art style called?' I'm not sure if it has a title, but you can associate it with the artist I guess and name it respectively... no matter how funny it sounds ;D
p.s. I haven't included one important influance in the map and that is you, all the followers and silent lurkers... I know some of you have been keeping your eye on since the old times so thank you so much for all the support :] have a great 2015!
-----------------
1. Studio Ghibli - the depth in various aspects and attention to details has amazed me a lot in all of their animated works. one doesn't need to be sharp eyed to know there is something special about their creations.
2. Kiki's Delivery Service - the story telling and character development in K'sDS is something that inspires to add more depth, movement and story even in a single piece of artwork! Kiki's red bow has a direct influance to my witchcraft artwork too!
3. My Neighbor Totoro - the portrayal of creature nature and personality is amazing; the old style animation also gives it a really personal touch. I have taken lots of influance from Totoro, it even reaches to Boggart - his unusual behavior c:
4. Owls - well, I guess it speaks for it self C:
5. alchemaniac - his works are solid awesomness :] the colour use, level of details, great concepts and amazing fuse of it all - a real eye-treat! something I aspire to add to my own works.
6. MarcoBucci - those colourful and rough paintings! great artist with unique style.
7. Artbooks - this year I managed to get lots of great artbooks and there is a lot one can learn from!
8. Tangled - well designed environments with lush nature is one of the things I love and within Tangled it shows.
9. Stupid Fox by SilentReaper - a comic I'm still following! one of the inspirational reasons I started Boggart :]
10. Shrek - ever since 2001 it still inspires me in many little artistic aspects! now that counts for something!
11. griffsnuff - those painted environments are great! a really positive artist with adventurous deviations I love to follow :]
12. Cats - the awesomness of cats is close to impossible to match!
13. Kung Fu Panda - a great portrayal of a panda character in various ways, design and animation. I have painted quite a few pandas ever since.
14. Fire Flight - Phoenix Dance Theatre - very inspirational performance and cg fire animation. fire walk is something I came up with right afterwards.
15. NekoNaoko - that little stego sprout design was like a fire for a whole little world of mini dinos on its own c:
16. trenchmaker - one of my early days inspirations; the quality of her works is amazing and you can tell she pours in a lot of energy and soul in her work.
17. Anime - the beautiful, almost magic environments in various anime is something to be inspired from. 5cm per Second, anyone? :]
alright, see you all in 2015! thank you ALL for simply being and doing what you do :]

Awesome inspirations! And a side note: The title of this is spelled wrong, it's "influance" instead of "influence."

I have a folder called Style Practice, I should just make one of these. Also my lock screen (ever since I got my phone) has been stupidfox spewing a rainbow. I loved the composition and style so much and thank you for posting this, I'd never have found out where it came from if not for you! Hugs!

Your influence spread a little more over the Christmas when my Sister spotted a few (lots) of your "Apofiss style" images in my favourites folder. She usually prefers darker images, dark angels and the like so I've shown her your Mouse Pads on Amazon.co.uk and she's hooked lol.
Your images always make me smile. I love cats and have 2 of my own so I know how hard it is to capture a cats unique quirkiness, but you recreate it in your art flawlessly.
Thank you for your wonderful images, a huge thank you for Boggart and all the best for the new year.

One genius recognizes inspiration derived from others... What a wonderful concept! And yes, I agree that your "influences" (the amazing concepts behind the characters, as well as the technical virtuosity!) are pinnacles of achievement in anime and digital media! Thanks for compiling your "Influence Map" for all of your fans to share in a little insight into your journey!
