Description I really don't give a shit that I'm "late to the bandwagon" or something. This was interesting to do, to be able to see where I really started from.


1. The World Ends With You

Obviously, you see Tetsuya Nomura down there and his artwork for Terra in DFF. Then you're like, "he did the art for TWEWY too," which I'll say he did, but with the aid of Gen Kobayashi. There's a slight difference, but I prefer Kobayashi's take on Nomura's style since it's more dynamic and upbeat. Take the art Nomura did for FF Type-0, specifically this one. Compare it to the art for TWEWY and you'll be able to see the difference, especially the thickness and sharpness of the lineart.


2. Douman Seiman/Dowman Sayman

His art style's just so wacky but very iconic. And his stories are pure mindfuck. Go check them out, especially The Voynich Hotel and Nickelodeon.


3. Gorillaz/Jaime Hewlett

Childhood favorite band. Demon Days is my favorite album. Also Jaime Hewlett is boss. I love how his colors are so vibrant and alive, especially the art for Plastic Beach. And the way he draws people so simple yet so differently just shows how much he's got a grip on his talent. 


4. Panic! at the Disco, 5. Sleeping With Sirens, 6. Goldfish

I draw based on what I listen to. Seriously, the tone of the music can affect the outcome in many ways, like the pose, the colors used and the mood of the subject. I also prefer some techno stuff like Daft Punk, Pendulum and Knife Party, but I suppose no one can detect it in my drawings.


7. Tetsuya Nomura

I can't decide on one main influence, tbh. Always loved his art, and I love how he designs costumes (even though I do think they're clunky and impractical. Hell, it's JAPAN, they make weird look FUCKING BADASS) and weapons. I grew out of the JRPG love, but seriously. Nomura is awesome.


8. Honna Wakou

Yeah, this is why I prefer drawing girls. Of course, drawing pinups or boobs or ass asks you exaggerate those features to provide provocation and sultriness. I dunno. Drawing girls is fun. Anyways, check out his story, Nozoki Ana! Despite the sex and borderline hentai it's got a great story. Seriously.


I suck at pasting pictures. Sorry!

Nah, I'm not the type to thank each and every one for watching me immediately, cuz that's spam. :/ 

But if people talk to me that's really great! No need to be shy!
