Hi there!
Since I've been feeling better artistically and mentally this year, I had the idea to do another influence map, the last one I did was from 2014 and I didn't put too much thought into it, admittedly.
So I got excited to do another and boy howdy, this looks more accurate to my visual library of influences.

And If anyone on this list isn't comfortable with their work on the collage, please let me know and I'll remove you, no problem!

1. WalkingMelonsAAA - Been following them since Undertale which is not very long but I fell in love with their stuff instantly, I enjoy their painting style and technique and hope to pick up some tricks from them while I'm practicing.

2. The Ink Monster - Loved them for their pixel art and how they went about doing it was what pushed me along into trying my hand at it, their painting style is interesting, too, I know they're still practicing and I gotta say their attention to detail is awesome.

3. StaticMegaByte - AAAAAAAAA ouo They have a funky style that even though it seems to change, that's not a negative, more like a positive because it always looks really good whether cartoony or more detailed.

4. GDBee - Cooloooors! I can't name a piece I haven't loved from them and the main influence is the way they color and their color choices, it's always so vibrant along with loose brushstrokes and that's something I want to experiment with my own stuff.

5. SootySheep - Their linework is always so soft and thin but fluid and smooth along with their color choices and how it has such an airbrushed feel, it's always a treat to lay my eyes on their work.

6. Diives 18+ Art! - Their animations caught my eye and their plump bouncy style is always so cute to see.

7. tracyjb - Oh jeez, where do I start?? I found their comic "Lackadaisy" not too long ago, maybe late last year on webtoon before I realized I knew them from years before. I was already a fan of their tutorials and now refinding them again has me finding a whole host of reasons why they're a big influence. For starters: expressions, painting, style, and subtle color pallettes.

8. Norasuko - Found them on twitter some time ago, their linework is pretty nice, delicate and light. Their coloring, though minimal, packs a punch with how subtle it is.

9. Naimane - Another person I've refound a couple years later, I love the tone and subject matter their stuff has, creepy, creatures, single flat colors, it's all so cool.

10. Fukari - What drew me to their stuff constantly was their OCs and their lives and how expressive her work was and I still love it, today.

11. AshleyZombie - Long time fan! Now their stuff has grown and improved so much from their painting style to their detailed themed works, just seeing how much they put into the themed commissions with detailed backgrounds just makes me want to try my hardest at it.

12. Hushabye Valley - Interesting Original Characters and mini-comics! I wanna know more about Ada and the Castle residents, darnit!

13. Ashlmet - Wicked style, wicked hair, and wicked smile, it's all so great!

14. YareBear - I like their soft blended painting style, it looks easy but I'm sure it's not if I really tried to emulate it.

15. NanoMortis - Their lineart style and how simple but interesting it is along with their limited color palette with the reds and blacks and variations on those.

16. Greteh - I've known her stuff for years and am super happy with seeing her immense improvement to the style she has now which is so cool, all her stuff just pops with personality and life!

17. UrsulaDecay - I love her characters and how deep they all seem to be with their intertwining lives and I always look forward to all the nuggets of info through artwork she posts here.

18. Parororo - COLORS, How do you do that?? It took me a while to pin my finger on it and I still don't think I know what exactly makes up their coloring style and why it's so appealing, might be the color choices and how they do that 'bloom' effect, idk, but I love it.

19. DeadSlug - I think I really started looking at their stuff from their facebook page, I like the cartoony/anime style along with their character design, it's all so explosive.

20. DrawKill - Always liked the palettes they used, it gave a dark and dull but very pointed tone to all their work. And yes, their persona design made me an instant fan.

21. whispwill - I follow their webcomic 'Kings Folly', they're a huge inspiration for starting a webcomic at some point soon. I like their coloring style, it's smooth with personality.

22. BlasticHeart - I always look forward to their sketchdumps and the way they draw mouths and teeth, just so cool.

23. ModMad / Sarah Jolley - A HUGE comic inspiration along with storytelling in general! She is who I'm looking to along with many others the most when I really gear up to start work on mine. It's just so mesmerizing with how fast and loose they draw and color with their comic and illustrations, something I've never seen before, to be honest.

24. Voltaire - Back when I first heard his music on Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy before I knew it was the same person and once I got a desktop, I looked more into his work and fell in love with the beats and lyrics. I think I used one of his songs as the basis for a school project once, haha.

25. The Real Tuesday Weld - Oh man, I found them almost 10 years ago with their animated MV of "Kix" and that's really where my love of jazzy Swing and Electro Swing, etc. really started. Didn't bloom until a couple years ago where I fell head-first into my interest in the 20s and steampunk and smooth suave such and such, you get the idea, hopefully.

26. Kada-Bura - Another older artist I found when I was younger on DA! They used to go by 'AishaxNeko' back in the day and now go by this current name, their art has changed massively. I like the way they draw helmeted suited dangerous men, their style is very solid and gritty but they have another whimsical way of drawing that is so cool. Their character designs are to die for. They're also working on a book and so far, the writing is really good!

27. Zambiie - I think what I like most is how fun her figures look when they draw, simple yet solid but lively.

28. Raichiyo33 - Their girls always look so full of life and light, their shading is the cherry on top, honestly.

29. CyanCapsule 18+ Art! - I found their work not too long ago on twitter, I believe, their Piggy OC Emilie is adorable and idk how they do it but their painting style isn't heavy-handed or overly apparent but the way they go about it makes it look so smooth and fluid.

30. clover-teapot - Another artist I found last year, I just love everything about their work?? Their linework looks effortless, their painting style makes me wanna throw my pen down and ask how! Okay, not really, but it always catches my eye and has me in awe.
