Well after a day or so I finally got this giant baby finished! It sort of got out of hand but...man a lot of people influence me! I couldn't even fit them all on here! ;A; One day I'll update this son of a bitch again, I swear.

The list reads from left ro right. If you have trouble following along just pop over here: [link]

① Steve Jung is known by many as one of the concept artists for the movie, Tron Legacy. The movie in itself was/is a giant influence for me and my work, and continues to be to this day. Jungs sleek illustrations and painterly style push me to try more geometric designs.
② Brett Helquist has influenced me ever since I gazed upon the first A Series of Unfortunate Events book cover. Even though I am not familiar with many of his other works, his style is one I wish to emulate, especially when it comes to the tone of a illustration.
③ Keita Takahashi, the father of the Katamari series. I don't think I can express my feeling about his style, or his games. They speak to my soul. Or something. I'm saying little only because you'll get a wall of how much I love Katamari haha.
④ Hayao Miyazaki is a pretty popular dude, and while I'm not a fan of all his movies (or all of Stuido Ghibilis movies), Spirited Away has clearly influenced me from an early age. The beautiful backgrounds, and interesting character designs still stay with me to this day. I hope in the future to come up with such enchanting concepts and designs.
⑤ Art Deco is just the best. The. Best. Can you say primary colors?
⑥ Fashion. I know thats very unspecific but I really enjoy all different kinda of fashion styles!
⑦ Riikka Auvinen aka ~tir-ri . I believe I came across Auvinen though the front page of DA, but who knows really. All I know is that she inadvertently pushed me with watercolors, and showed me how much fun they can be!
⑧ Mateusz Skutnik is the creator of the Submachine and Daymare Town series. Daymare Town helped me regain an interest in pen and ink, along with typography and comics. Submachine introduced me to details, and renewed my love of backgrounds/creating worlds/creating settings, He is one of my favorite artists of all times.
⑨ Adventure Time! Who couldn't love this show! The backgrounds and the simplistic wonky arm style sparked quite a few of experiments I've done in recent years!
⑩ Claire Hummel aka *shoomlah caught my eye a few years back when I saw a piece of MYST fanart she did. As a giant fan of the franchise, it always makes me happy when I come across someone else who shares my love! My eyes have been following her ever since, along with many others.
⑪ Ancient Egypt has always been something I've been interested in. It creeps into my art in small and subtle ways.
⑫ C.H. Greenblatt created Chowder, a cartoon on Cartoon Network! The use of patterns and vivid colors pulled me in, and later gave me the carisma to start using those things in my own art.
⑬ A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket has been the backbone of so many projects of mine. How the story is written, the subject, the characters, they all spoke to me on a level no other series has. I've already spoken on the Illustrations, which are lovely and got me into cross hatching, so I'll also speak about the book. The costumes, and scenery were whimsical and unique, causing them to stand out. To this day I wish I had a book just on the sets, I loved each and every one. Also, my love of eyes? Thats because of this series.
⑭ Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius in all he did. He firmly believed in a mix of the geometric and the organic, something I try to put into my own artwork. He is one of the few people whose works I enjoy no matter what the medium.
⑮ Jemma Salume aka *oxboxer 's differently colored lines and use of solid shapes somehow creeped into my own artwork a few months after viewing her art.
⑯ Cynthia L. aka *koyamori . Without her I wouldn't be so into experimenting with watercolors and ink.
⑰ Abigail Larson aka *AbigailLarson is another artist who got me back into ink, and started my short love with borders! I still enjoy doing them, I just don't as much (sadly). Perhaps one day I will!
⑱ Asia is a large influence for many people, and I am not an exclusion. And when I say Asia I mean ALL of Asia. Not just Japan.
⑲ Rose Wong aka *rhuu . One word. Hair. This is the lady who got me into drawing all those lines in hair. I love it. I never want to stop.
⑳ Agent Dax aka *AgentDax is an artist I came across thanks to my partner who did an art trade with her. Her style was unlike any other that I had seen before, and I loved how she drew her noses and fingers. At times I find myself emulating her as I try to grasp how to draw such simply complex things.
㉑ Monika Dzikowicz aka ~monikoko is a talented young woman from Poland who I've admired for years. Her amazing design work, especially when she does full Illustrations, inspires me to continue reaching for my own dreams and goals. A breath of fresh air in the art world.
㉒ Ancient Greece be the bomb. I'm all up in those Myths and shit. Hollah.
㉓ Botanical Illustration. Have I ever mentioned I've wanted to do this since I was 12? Plants. YES.
㉔ Stephanie Pepper aka Kippery was a very popular artist on deviant art who know has more or less retreated into the shadows. Her use of textured brushes and minimal color palettes greatly influenced me.
㉕ Kathryn Hudson aka *spicysteweddemon 's wonky style, bright colors, and lovely patterns caught my interest a while back, and I was lucky enough to find her again a few years ago! You can blame the lack of bones in arms from time to time on her! (Also she made me experiment with vector.)
㉖ Paexiedust aka *Paexiedust has been a subtle influence on my work.
㉗ Kevin Wada aka ~kevinwada . How can you look at his work and NOT want to do all sorts of crazy things with water color?
㉘ Space. Stars, the Universe, Nebulas, they're all works of art to me. And I just want to capture them all.
㉙ Ron Barrett illustrated the book, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The cross hatching, hatching, and line work inspires me to this day.
㉚ Tess Stone aka *vert-is-ninja s comic Hannah is NOT a Boys Name is how I started experimenting on comics in the first place, and learned its very much okay to think outside of the box. Also Typography. Also Texture. Also I love all of the above.
㉛ Gorillaz. Both their music and the style their drawn has influenced and inspired me since the early 2000s.
㉜ MYST. Everything about it. Seriously. Put it in my soul.
㉝ Thurop Van Orrman led the mental movement to experiment more with physical textures (paper, cardboard, ect) and styles.
㉞ Natasha Allegri lead me into a world of pinups and girlyness.
㉟ Nature has been influencing me from day one. Go Team Organic!
㊱ Samurai Jacks backgrounds are something I have tried over and over to emulate. One day I will get there. One day.
