Description
's influence map meme.I had a bit of downtime between commissions and work and threw this together. Let me explain a bit:
*Final Fantasy - I've been playing FF for as long as I remember, back when I had it on a cartridge for the Super NES. The art has always inspired me, from the in game graphics to Amano's art. I remember tracing Amano's character art from the Final Fantasy 3 (or 6) guide when I was probably 8.
*Skingraft - The best leather clothing I've ever seen. I would wear nothing but Skingraft if I had a choice.
*Japan - Ah, Japan. From the first introduction to your culture when I was maybe 13, I've been madly in love with you and everything about you.
*Galliano - My favorite designer. I first discovered him when I was a young teenager after falling in love with the insane Dior ads. I believed that owning something from Dior was a sign that you've made it.
*Jamie Hewlett - Hands down, my favorite comic book artist. I have him to thank for my Tank Girl phase with my clothes.
*Loish - I've been following her for years and I adore her style. She makes it seem so easy
*Barachan - One of the first artists I followed online.
*Fairytales - I've yet to grow up
*Terada Katsuya - His girls are incredible and I love their dystopian clothing
*Tarsem Singh - Sure, his movies may not be the BEST storywise, but his visuals are my favorite. The Cell is my movie I watch when I'm in an artistic rut.
*Harley Quinn - The greatest villain of all time. Her attitude and ability to look both crazy and sexy at the same time inspires me.
*Guillermo Del Toro - My favorite director. His art is incredible as well.
*Rule of Rose - the style in the game is fantastic
*Space Channel 5 - the reason for my love of neon futuristic clothing

Jamie Hewlett apparently does have a dA account, but there's nothing on it really.
