Description Alright, there really is no order to this map. I kinda just.... added them according to some nonsensical reasoning that makes sense only to yours truly. The numbers are not significant of which is the most influential to my art, just as a means to help me name them/list them here for reference. As you can see with the "3.a" and "11.a" I forgot a couple and added them on last minute after I already flattened, saved, and closed out of the image. Because I fail.

This influence map was much too small to list all of my influences and this is just a small, small, small selection of what inspires me. In truth, no single artist or thing inspires me more than any other, but rather it's all of them wrapped up into one giant, amorphous glob of inspiration. They all manage to worm their way into my art, one way or another, whether I like it or not.

So my muse can just SUCK IT UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN. RAWR.

Most of the covers are done by James Jean! ;'D

Prezactly. =w=

I think there's one out there for your musical inspiration, which, again, I'd have a difficult time filling out DX
Lots of classical music.
And then random ska....
