Description I didn't exactly follow the size suggestions at the bottom

I tried to make it look rather cleanly, I didn't want it to look cluttered and gross that way you could see a few of them from the thumbnail.

Here they are in order of box size:

Kirby : Kirby was my entire Junior High years. I drew him nonstop, played Kirby And The Crystal Shards until I lost it, and main'd as Kirby on Super Smash Bros. (which is still true now). Kirby's style really became the model for how I drew; it was just the point where I started really learning how to draw.

=dawniie : Dawniie has had a profound influence on me since I joined DeviantART. I had looked up to her as an artist since seeing "Misty " in Daily Deviations, and after having a chance to meet her in a livestream I now look up to her as a person.

Pokemon : Blue Version was my first game, and it was also the first outside-influence on my artwork. I remember tracing pictures from the guide-book (I was 6 ), as well as trying to come up with my own pokemon. Upon getting Silver Version, I drew pictures of Lugia and Typhlosion constantly.

Final Fantasy X : Every element to this game was downright perfect to me. The storyline, gameplay, cutscenes, side-quests, everything. It was the first Final Fantasy game I ever got, and it was without a doubt my favorite game. This game spawned a little portion of my life where I drew weapon designs nonstop, and actually tried my luck at making characters.

Studio Ghibli : If I were to list off my top 5 favorite movies, they would all be Ghibli Movies. After Pokemon, Kirby, and Final Fantasy had seasoned my artwork, Ghibli was the final touch that really brings me to where I am right now.

M. C. Escher : While I've had multiple influences for my anthro/anime style, I've pretty much had one standing influence on my abstract work. I took a class on him in a summer program when I was in 6th grade, and I fell in love with his pseudo-realistic illusionism on sight.

Illinoise (Sufjan Stevens) : My favorite album with some of my favorite songs.

Funeral (Arcade Fire) : The emotional roller-coaster that Funeral took me on really brought out a passion for passion.

Since I Left You (The Avalanches) : Every time I listen to this album a wave of inspiration just flows over me. It really jogs my conceptual way of thinking, and is a damn good album to boot.

That's me! If you wanna do one too, this is the template. [link]

Studio Ghibli. Gotta love em. And Kirby made me want to draw too mainly cause it was the first game I ever beat, and he was very easy to draw at the time, hah.

Kirby has always been fun to draw, he kind of served as a sort of model for my artistic development
