Biggest Influence to your comic!

[Ghostie]

I'm with Ito Junji too. .o And Hell Girl, as main inspirations, tho I take a bit of stuff from Dionae House too, which wasn't even a comic, but a written realistic "creepypasta" read online through journals and text messages. It was brilliant.

Steven Universe is the biggest inspiration for my webcomic (which is why one of my characters sorta looks like Pearl), and also Norse mythology and the storyline of Marvel's Thor.

My comic, There Was a War's biggest influence is obviously Gaelic mythology; that's where the characters are from! Besides that, I'd say my biggest influence for this comic is the Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and the Dark Wife by S. E. Diemer - retelling ancient stories from a new perspective.

My comic's influence is a little weird...since it's Phelous's Animated Reviews. XD

[lukas3]

The biggest influence to my comic was the movie 'RED'
Retired!
And also the book 'Naruto'.

[TheDragonSlayer]

Im influenced in terms of concept and story by manga such as dragon ball, fairy tail, my hero academia, naurto , assassination classroom, attack on titan, sword art online , highschool dxd and etc.

The biggest influence on my series Zounds, Alack, and By My Troth is Shakespeare, sinc that's where pretty much all the characters come from! Hark, A Vagrant is probably the comic strip that most inspired me, but also Shortpacked! on a structural level, particularly the early stuff - I like the idea of having a set of core characters, but interpsersing their appearances with self-contained jokes.

It mostly came to me when I was working at an actual superstore. An unconcious influence may have been from the anime "The Devil is a Part-timer".

Story-wise my biggest influences for Heroes for Ghosts are 80's and 90's era X-men comics mixed with live-action stuff like Star Wars and the 2000's Battlestar Galactica. The "Wild Cards" mosaic novel series edited by George R.R. Martin was also a big influence--at least the first four or so. General world history-- particularly that of global conflict, is a big influence as well.
Art-wise my biggest influence was the early stuff by Arthur Adams, along with other high detail guys like Moebius, Travis Cherest, Jim Lee, Neal Adams. A lot of indie guys influenced me too with Gerhard being the most notable. Of course there are also influences from the fine arts with artists like Michelangelo, Albrect Durer, Leonardo, Hieronymus Bosch and others. There are little homages to all that stuff throughout my work.

 Well for me it had been the severe lack of big girls in manga and the ones I read never had a happy ending. It really upset me and I wanted a happy story with some struggle. So I decided to upload granted it has only been a day I am going to try my hardest to get better and tell a good story.

these guys pick the silliest topics and make a joke out if it ...they were a huge influence
especially when i made a comic about a kid asking his dad what bi polar means.

[Momomori]

id have to say the influence for Silence would be those silent indie games, like Limbo or Inside, though it kinda strayed from its original idea.

[Kamikaze]

For Kamikaze the inspiration was mostly animation (because the team is made up of animation nerds).

2 1/2 cups Batman Beyond

1/4 cup Mad Max

3 Tablespoons Blade Runner

1/2 teaspoon Gargoyles

3/4 cup Legend of Korra

1 pinch Disney's Atlantis

Mix together vigorously. Bake for 2 years and enjoy every Wednesday.

1920s movies, old school monster movies, horror movies in general and music has inspired me the most.

[sefra114]

Mobile Police Patlabor was the biggest influence on my comic Oni x Fox! Very funny and character-centric, I highly recommend it! My comic doesn't have robots or policemen, but I think the influence is visible haha!

[anitacomics]

I wish I had such things as influences. I read way more realistic comics, but I admire those who can draw simple yet beautiful. So in some ways I could call Chris Bachalo as a real influence on this comic? Mostly because he kicks ass even when he doesn't draw feet to anyone.

[miesmud]

Billy Elliot inspired me for the plot of my story. I love that brave boy fighting for what he wanted to do, breaking stereotypes and gender-roles and stuff.

My art is kind of influenced by ... Sailor Moon... lol. I'm really digging that white-pupil thing they had in the 90s anime.

Now add my favorite sport, which is Figure Skating, and my soft-flat-colors-aesthetic: and you have Icebreaker!

[Izanyan]

I can say that many anime/manga influenced my manga . Some of them are Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn , Tokyo Ghoul and Dragon Ball Z .^^

[rmdooley]

Good question!

Gotta say music.

For Legio Arcana scenes and entire storylines are born and brought to life due to a score

The initial concept for the comic was really influenced by this song

[rmdooley]

Can definitely pick up on some of those influences reading through, great job on the comic!
