Description I've wanted to do this for many months, but not sure what I should do about it. There are so many to be inspired by, and so much to be inspired of...

This is going to be long. Just a warning. Thanks to everyone who reads.

Kaoru-Chan

I don't think I can count all the times I've browsed her gallery just to take "another" look. The another look became houndreds or at least I'm nearly there. Since I first saw her artwork I became curious, and how she used her copics and digital mediums gave me inspiration to practice. So since I became a fan of her art, I've been inspirated and practicing more and more on my drawing. I've always wanted a commission from her, but it costs money. And that ain't free.
But the inspiration she gives me to continue is more than enough.

Wolves, nature and animals

What a shock! Yes, wolves have also been a big influence when it comes to my art, every form for it. Since I was young I loved the wolves, and could not understand why the wolf always had to be the bad guy. So I often made up different endings where they became friends or simply made a whole new, happy story for them. But the last years I have found out how much they really mean to me. These animals really have a place in my heart, which they'll never lose.
Nature itself is a big inspiration for me. I'm living in a forest, and you can figure out yourself how much I love it. The winter is my favorite season, but I love all the seasons in different kind of ways. It's like four big treasures which we get every single year.
Other animals are also a big inspiration. Pets, wild animals, all of them. They are all special in their own way, and I hope I can work with animals when the time for me to start working has come. I especially love to take photos of them, which I got proved when I was on a safari in Spain last year. I also want to learn to draw them better.

Kingdom Hearts

WHERE TO START. I love these series, and the second I started playing I fell in love with it! They are my favorite games besides good, ol' PokΓ©mon. I always look out for the new games, and when I heard that they were really planning on making Kingdom Hearts 3, I wanted to dance around in joy. Don't make fun of me.
But back to the point. When I started playing this I got new ideas, both in writing and drawing. And I still do.

Balto

My favorite movie of all time. One of them, at least. Balto have meant so much to me. I don't know how to express myself when I want to explain just how much. It may sound silly, but I have cried several times because of it.
All my life I've had that movie in my shelf. And I still have it, still working without any problems.
I don't think I can express myself good enough when it comes to this movie. I'll end my explanation with saying that it matters a lot to me.

Studio Ghibli

I remember how scared I was when I saw Spirited Away when I was around nine or ten. I hid myself under my blanket, and the fact that I saw it in Spanish didn't help the case. Yes, I understand the language, but I thought it sounded scarier that way. But still I loved it. Though it was a little bloody some few places, and deeper than I at the moment knew, I completely fell for it. And I watched it again when I was twelve. Then I really fell.
After that I've been inspirated in so many ways. After watching My Neighbour Totoro I had a big smile in my face, and a lot of ideas. After that one I've seen The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle, Tales from Earthsea and some others, and I hope more to come. I have Princess Monoke as well, after I bought it in London, but I haven't watched it yet. Can't wait.

Mokinzi

I don't think she knows it herself how much she has inspired me since I joined dA. The way she draws is unique, and so are her ideas. You get a surprise everytime, at least I have. And the fact that she always has a meaning behind them is something special itself. She's a talent, no doubt, and I'm sure she'll be big one day. But I have to say that she has inspired me to put my own twist in my drawings, and not be afraid to experiment. I haven't uploaded much the last months, so you maybe don't know what I mean, but: she really is a big inspiration.

PokΓ©mon

If you're laughing at me now... Sh.
What did you think? Oh no, I can not forget this big, important part of my life. Laugh if you will, but it really has meant a lot to me, and still do. It helped me through hard times when I was younger, and I forgot to be worried when I was focusing on becoming the greatest trainer of all. I loved the series, I loved the cards, the figures... I don't think I have to write down everything. But do not forget the games. I remember I was sick when I first got Pokemon Red with a green GameBoy. I hugged my parents so many times, though I was nearly falling while doing it. But had to play it - poor dad, he had to sit with me the whole evening translating.
Since then, I have been inspirated to draw them, to make my own (I made my own when I was seven. No kidding.), and make up stories about them.
A lot influence indeed.

TheSharkGirl

My bestest friend ever, and a huge inspiration. I would never have taken drawing and writing seriously if I hadn't met her. Giving me ideas all the time, making up crazy stories about our just as crazy characters I started drawing. More and more for each day and each talk. That way I improved my skills, and the writing as well. Before it looked like... A mess. I get goosebumps when I read my old texts. They're really not good. I do hope I've improved since than! But I think I have. She has inspired me to make my own choices as well, believing in what I want, and never give up no matter what. Not only in art, but in real life, but yes - when it comes to art as well. I hope I'll find my own style one day, and I know I will, I just have to keep going on and not give up. And I have to keep up with my writing.
Thank you so much!

Friends

YES, this is a huge, huge fact! Without my friends I would never have been where I am today, doing what I'm doing. Thank you all for sharing your talents, your ideas, and allowing others to share theirs. And thank you for being such big inspirations and good friends!

Okami

I loved this game. I still do. And now I want to play it all over again.
OK, serious. I have to be serious. Not easy when there is a lot of homework to do, which is just waiting for me to start. But yes, Okami have also influenced me when it comes to my art and ideas. It's a gorgeus game, and with a wonderful story. I don't think I have to say more. ~

Walt Disney Pictures

Ha. Hahaha.
Now I am really speechless. Since I was one month old I've been watching disney movies. So you can guess yourself how much it have influenced me and my art. I remember the grown-ups blamed the movies for my fine language (I used very complicated words at young age). I don't really know if I understood all of them...
I dreamt of working in Disneyland or at the Disney Studio. I wished I could draw good enough to work there, but sadly it doesn't seem like I can get there. I'm already seventeen, and my drawingskills... They're nothing special.
But I'm allowed to dream and chase it, so I'll keep doing it.
The way I am today is thanks to Disney as well. All of the movies, the songs, the stories... Everything. They're all in here.

OK, now I'll stop talking! Thanks to the ones who actually managed to read everything. And sorry...
I do have other things which has influenced me as well, but I didn't have enough space so I picked out the most important ones. I think. *prays that she hasn't forgot anything*
