It's hard to pin down my main influences as a struggling writer, I had to cut some people to fit this list.

(From Left to Right, Top to Botton)

The Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix)
The Filmmakers that inspired me to create stories, and explore complex themes to teach.

Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (ATLA)
The creators that show me how to create a great long saga with memorable characters.

Brad Bird (Iron Giant, The Incredibles)
The film animator who told me that animation is not a genre.

Scott McCloud (Zot!, Understanding Comics)
The great comic book philosopher that shows me the potential of the sequential art.

Paul Dini (DCAU)
The great comic book writer that can create great comedy for me to laugh and great tragedy for me to pity.

Lauren Faust (My Little Pony:FIM)
The female animator that proved to me that great writers focus on writing good characters, not on demographics.

Mike Stoklasa (RedLetterMedia.com)
The film scholar that gave me the mind to analyze films even deeper.

Korey Coleman (Spill.com)
The honest critic that shows no pretensions, and just wants to be friends with me.

Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
The musician that spoke some of the world's and humans' tragedies, but sorta told me to never give up.

Dav Pilkey (Captain Underpants)
The children author that sparked my creative interest, and practically introduced me to comedy.

Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes)
The cartoonist that showed me that even the silliest of characters can think deep, and even silly "low art" can be sophisticated.

James Cameron (The Terminator, The Abyss)
The film director that pushed the boundaries of technology, but mostly keep his films feel human to me.

Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Sym-Bionic Titan)
The animator that show me a bold visual kinetic style for me to emulate.

Hayao Miyazaki (Castle in The Sky, Castle of Cagliostro)
The Mangaka that gives the ideas to create new worlds to explore.
