Title: What things influence your artwork the most?
Post by: emanhattan on April 6, 2009 08:11 PM
What tv shows/cartoons/things would you say influence your artwork the most??

A lot of people say that my style reminds them of beavis and butthead, others say its like ed,edd n eddy (I think it has something to do with the color pallette I use), And a small minority thinks my stuff looks too "invader zim" esque.

so what about you comrade?

I'd say my style reminds me of early Egoraptor.

And by that, I mean terrible.

I started Anime then moved away from that and wound up getting alot of "your style reminds me of rtil" comments. Then I changed some more and now I get "your style looks like Dr.Seuss" comments.
Although, style-wise, I don't get my inspiration from seuss at all. I guess it's a mixture of KC Green, TimoTayo and a little bit of a bunch of others.
Idea wise it's just a bunch of music I listen to. Modest Mouse, Of Montreal, some 80s stuff.
I don't watch TV or read a bunch of comics so I don't have much else to add.

First time i tried anime but stopped doing that cause i lacked the basics, the fundament that keeps everything together + i only made eye sore material. Im still influenced by anime, but even so i rather focused on putting together a style of my own. Over the years i became influenced by people like Andrew Dickman and some other people who i still admire. But i gotta say that the biggest influence i still got to this date, continues to come from zekey (note my current avatar). Plus, ive been studying realism a lot as well. Also theres a drop of cartoony influence in it as well, like comic esque. And noir too. Which is how my style is currently (de)formed.

I still make eye sore, so ive said fuck it. I rarely make anything now so it really doesnt matter anymore. The end.

I have no idea if you could really pin my characters down as directly inspired by a style... Probably several slapped together... The webcomic Mac Hall probably shows a little bit. But in my cartooning style, the houses are influenced by the one-story houses on Ed, Edd n' Eddy, also a little bit by The Simpsons too. And of course, you can find some Invader Zim in my stuff somewhere.

A long time ago it was krinkels, but that was more my drive to pull my work into a kinetic sense, you know, to give them definitive life.  But after a while I saw Newshape\\\'s work, and his ability to pull distorted and flushed perspectives and anatomies really made me pull my work to a different and more comfortable direction.

also if you want to get really picky, resident evil and doom when I was younger

a lot of children's books that I read as a kid inspired me along with old looney tunes that would play 24/7 on the superior 90's cartoon network. I remember being so inspired that I made a flip book at age three

other than that I'd say that i'm like inixtro; i can't call my style

Todd McFarlane. Edmonton boy. He designed the 3rd jerseys for the Oilers.

I immediately tried to shrug that comment off but see that. Though, Tywo's hairshape being similar to Timmy Turner's, which has been pointed out occasionally, was entirely coincidental. His hair used to be rougher, but after 7 years of drawing him, well...

For yours, it doesn't remind me of any styles, I immediately identify it as your own unique style.

Probably at first, nothing but Nicktoons. I remember some of my earliest drawings of humans were very Hey Arnold!-ish but still pretty bland. Then Pokemon came out and I started drawing more "anime-ish". Over the last couple years alone I've been incorperating much more cartooney stuff, specifically with designs that I'll be animating so that it makes it easier. Japanese drawing styles have shown me that it's more than a little annoying when characters' eyes aren't connected by a solid line and you have to go in to put a white divider over the skin every single frame (unless they're Krillin in which case his eyes don't have any white BUT Y'KNOW).

As far as still being influenced by anime stuff art-wise, I LOVE all of Capcom's design work. How much I enjoy every single one of their games is another thing, but sometimes I'll gravitate towards a Capcom game based on the artwork and character designs alone.
