Should've added Hajime Ueda, Bernie Wrightson, and Harry Clarke in
>>5898661 . Pic related. I didn't put names cause my map is mainstream but maybe I should have as proper etiquette
>>5902743>body-horrorI'm not a huge body-horror fan but it's cool. I was just working on another idea at the time so I put Tetsuo the Iron Man and I do like that film.
>picturing surreal body-horror anime with strong lighting from that map.I'm still trying to learn light and shadow. I think my idea of influences varies a lot from others as I still don't have a style or have a process cause I'm still developing. All I know is I like to draw whatever I come up with which tends to have surreal aspects. Most of my influences are story, character, subject influences or simply inspire me some way. Example is Fog Hill of Five Elements, which I have no interest in its style nor plot, yet I put it in my map because I was so inspired by how a humble team of 6 was able to rival large Japanese anime studios. Another example is how I like the world, writing, and characters of Pokemon EOS (even though it's a child's game it still holds up even when I'm older) and find it to be pure soul but I don't want to capture the same style or aesthetic. I think that's why there's no cohesion or direction in my map.
>>5877942>>5877949You say you don't have a fixed direction but when I see your work I feel a cohesion. I think in terms of genre or concept you seem to be on the right path. Nice map.
>>5880569>>5880679Ishiwatari and Leyendecker are fantastic choices. Thanks for sharing Longque and Stalenhag.
>>5888736>Tetsuya Nomura (Artist), especifically The World Ends With YouWhat part, the fashion, overall art style, or something else?
>>5897554Mead Schaeffer is a great pick. His limited color palette is a lot harder to replicate than most would think. His aesthetic is amazing.
>>5898566Awesome
>>5897887Very nice. Amano is a true creative genius
