So, yeah, everybody seems to have done this already, and now I’m going to add to the meme-frenzy: The Influence Meme!

It was so much fun doing this – and it was really a kind of eye-opening thing for me myself as well. You start thinking about the main influences on your art and the things you like. I can only advise you to try it out, too. You’ll learn something about yourself.

Here are some explanations to my influences:

1. Musicals: Musicals have been my biggest influence in practically everything. They ruled quite a lot of my school days. I was in a musical “club”, if you want, and we dedicated a big share of our free time to dancing/singing/loving musicals.
This picture shows a scene of my favourite musical of all times, Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires). It’s based on a movie by Roman Polanski.

2. Dungeons and Dragons (Role Play Games, R.A. Salvatore): I was quite a nerdy role play game girl when I was younger, and the art of rpg handbooks and material had a big influence on my art.
The picture here is the cover of a book by R.A. Salvatore, my favourite fantasy author. It’s a book for the rpg Dungeons & Dragons. If you can tell me to which book it belongs, you get a cookie!

3. Sailor Moon: I’m an 80s kid. I loved the early 80s animes, and Sailor Moon was my favourite. My fav character was/is Sailor Saturn.

4. Arthurian tales: The stories of Arthur, the Round table and his knights have bee sparking my fantasy as long as I can remember. Today, I’m writing my thesis on Arthurian literature in the Middel Ages.

5. Old School Goth: The really old school goth style has to be my favourite style of all times. I started wearing black when I was 15/16, and I have never stopped until now.

6. Cyber Goth: One of my newer loves. Even though I’ve never been a cyber girl myself, I love the style and everything about it, the colours, the hair… The pictures shows DA’s goddess of awesome cyber style, ~Twi99y
7. Zombies (+ in this case Andy LaPlegua) _Nothing to explain. Zombie goodness + the singer of Combichrist =

8. Faeries & Celtic mythology: LOVE it! Can’t get enough of fairy-tales. The artists behind this masterpiece is Brian Froud, faerie king and one of the best artists ever!

9. Ballet. Yep. I love ballet.

10. Tattoo art: It should be obvious in my pics that I enjoy tattoos/tattoo art.

11. Dita von Teese: She is a GODDESS!

12. Captain Tsubasa: Another favourite 80s anime of mine. Watched it religiously.

13. Nintendo. NINTENDO RULES! I still have my NES at home. I have never gotten accustomed to 3D stuff, though. I’m a pixel lover.
