I did this a long time ago, just for fun! Now I have a better idea to do the meme again, but I spent a lot of time doing this one, so I thought I may share it with you... just for fun (again )

There are sooooo many, many things that inspire me, but when I started checking I realised there were, well, too many! So I selected only the first ones that came into my mind when I thought about "inspiration", simple as that I think that's the point, right?

Yoshitaka Amano: his dark ladies, strange combination of colours, rage, magic and white faces, and great concept art for The Angel's Egg, Final Fantasy games, etc. have been on my mind since I discovered him when I was 13 or sth. I find his works classy and original. I tend to imitate the postures and languid faces.

Pixar: the genius workshop. Ratatouille amazed me, I have never wanted so much to clap like crazy in a cinema! And I completely agree with their motto: "You can't rush art."

Disney: not really, but yes really. The concept art from Tangled pushed me into drawing again seriously I owe them a lot!

John Bauer: along with so many other golden-age illustrators like Kay Nielsen or Edmund Dulac. But he's my favourite. I love his little princesses, wet forests and trolls! TROLLS! Yesssss

CLAMP: I hate their stupid stories, I find them a fraud! But their art is simply amazing. I tried to copy each one of their drawings when I was little. So delicate, so cute, yet powerful. Clover is my favourite

Dostoievski: I just worship him as my personal god. He's my only true idol.

Takehiko Inoue: more manga! He's a genius, in both art and story. He gives so much power to his characters, you can image them as real as you. And his way of drawing movement and expressions... I die.

Nature: I find that, before art, there's reality. But I think nature is reality's more artistic daughter. Everything you can do, nature has done better. Will do better. Does better. Look at her!

Hiroaki Samura: I'm a big fan of "Blade of the Immortal" and his use of pencils to draw HORRID BLOOD AND GORE SCENES is just so soft and warm and... hahahaha

Chica Umino: There's just something about her stories and art... Not a single cliche here. This is both strange, funny, cute, real and sad. Honey & Clover is one of my favourite manga series.

Kentaro Miura: Berserk IS my favourite manga series. Monsters, blood, violence, swords... amazing, amazing art. Yes, I can very well love this and Disney at the same time

Junji Ito: so freaky! And his art is just so polished and detailed, very elegant. Also, I love the horror atmosphere he can create so easily, without being excessively creepy or bloody. I find that's very important in art: the "mood", and I like it the "disturbing" way

Sorry for all the writting, if you have read it. I just wanted to share this. Lots of love!
