Description Blank meme [link]

Typical... Chock full of anime, I'm sorry. ;v; And, no, Norman Rockwell and Van Gogh were not randomly put in for good measure. XD; I'm not artsy at all, and I suck at names. But Rockwell and Gogh's landscapes are definitely an influence in my stuff.

Artist Shout-Outs:
Sylph and Lily, I did not put up your old art to embarrass you, but it was your old art that had the most influence on my art, especially your webcomics/manga.

Originally had no space on this meme, but definitely deserves a bigger space here. A hard-to-please critic, pain-in-the-butt, constantly asking questions, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. She may lack in technical skill but she's probably a bajillion times more creative than I am. And I'm not trying to be flattering.

//--Edit: Just for clarification, these do not reflect my current tastes in media (H-haha. XD); rather, this stuff is what made my art look the way it does now. They may or may not be noticeable. --//

Oh man, this is interesting!! *_* I wanna try this! I wish Sylph still had her old stuff up, since she was definitely a huge inspiration for me, but maybe I have some saved somewhere in the deep dredges of my files XD hope!

It might be tough because my inspirations have shifted throughout the years, but hopefully I can make room for them all.

I used to love Pocahontas too *w* but I don't think it had much influence on my drawing. I mostly just loved Meeko and Flit, and the song "Colors of the Wind". XD A had a little book that showed me how to play that on the harmonica!

I wish I saved art more often back then. I didn't realize I'd miss pieces when artists cleaned up their portfolios. ;v;

Yeah, this took me longer than expected because it's so hard to narrow it down. XD

Pocahontas wasn't much of an influence, style-wise. But when I was trying to draw her face, I started to ask myself, "Why doesn't it look right?" and I began observing the lines and how stuff was drawn. I was looking at her nose, and when I realized it only took two tiny little diagonal lines, I was amazed. XD

I know... ;o; I always felt like anything on the internet is always accessible, but I didn't realize stuff might get taken down! I'm sad about all of Geocities being shut down for that reason too. ;-; All that nostalgia..!!

Hmm, maybe I can cheat and make the meme longer? XD;; I noticed people already seem to not be following the rule of how many of each size to use.

Hehe, that's neat about Pocahontas. ^o^ I wish I remembered more about my early thoughts with drawing.

Yeah, even with web archives, there are just some things that were never cached. ;_;

Oh... Those numbers were for quantity, haha. Late at night, I thought they were like... optional dimensions but I realize now that wouldn't have made sense. XD;

Although if you cheat, you may never run out of things to put in! owo

Y-yeah Pocahontas. I don't even remember what happened in that movie but when I was 5, it was my favorite and I tried my best to draw her face. >w>;

Zue In reply to Pompi [2010-08-18 09:45:15 +0000 UTC]

Ouuuu! OuO I liked the movie~ but Beauty & the Beast was my most favorite for some reason. XDD I think because the beast is a lion-person <-- lions
