Share an artist that inspires you!

[Missapogee]

I thought it might be fun to have a thread of people sharing artists, big and small, that inspire them! (And link to their social medias/where to find their work if you can)

I I've recently been enthralled with the work of supergiant games art director Jen Zee! She did artwork for games like Hades

heres a link to her twitter! https://twitter.com/0jenzee0

There are so many . Going to share an artist that's not on Tapas but I do just love Jay Boulton's character art oh so much. The little gestures and expressions absolutely slay me. Then there's the colors. And the backgrounds.... MELTS

O my, this is a kind of hard Whelp guess it is time to look back into my memory of people who inspires me
I guess recently I have been interested in @Lady_T_Musings her art is just so fascinating and
Yogo Sapphirey on webtoon
their artworks are so lovely
For Yogo her story was just beautiful and much adorable which will help me with the relationships with the characters in my novel
and Musings her main character helped me start drawing different sizes of people instead of in shape or skinny ones.

[Inspector_Spinda]

He passed away a few years ago, but he's been by biggest artistic inspiration.

Look at how chaotic and fun his art is!

Arata Yokoyama.

They have this artstyle between anime and realistic, that is the kind of art I want to make, but i'm lacking in brain, imagination, skills, and hand.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Mike Mignola is the biggest inspiration for me right now. His style is so cool and I'm learning a lot from reading his series Hellboy.

[R.n.P]

Tite Kubo that made bleach

[therosesword]

My next tattoo will be one of his pieces.

It's horrible that he passed so young.

I have a ton of influences,
Dean Yeagle for female characters,
Jordi Bernet for black & white drawings
Jim Flora is an artist that inspires my designs, I love the minimal
color, 40s / 50s style design

Almost every Comic Book Artist of the 1980s-2000s. Here's just the top three of that list.

Okay, the artist that inspires me the most is Paul Kidby, illustrator für Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, and much, much more!
His style is a bit quirky and not everyone's taste, but I love it - there's so much to be learned, since he's also a traditional artist and I hope that I'll be one day at least 1/10 of his skill level!

Also, regarding comics, I'd definitely recommend Wendy Pini, the artist behind the Elfquest comics! Every page is inked with SO MUCH incredible details and the story is Chef's kiss

Elfquest

While there are many more incredibly talented artists out there, thos two are my favorites! X3

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Got another that's influential in a big way for me right now. Stan Sakai, this guy...I finally found a muse for a cartoony action style similar to mine.
When I look at his work, I get a boost of confidence that I can pull off comics too. Not everything has to be ultra detailed or realistic to draw out emotions.

[gmaximin]

@nathanKmcwilliams That reminds an interview of Sakai I read years ago. He wanted to draw dinosaurs so bad, that the only way he found was to add lizard everywhere he could, like panel 2 of the last image...

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Yeah those little dino-lizards are all over the comic. It's really interesting and I wasn't expecting it at all.

[TedGravesArt]

Also one of my favorite comic artists. SO GOOD

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Yeah he is! I'm pretty new to his work, but I've already devoured two full volumes of his work.

[TedGravesArt]

Adam Hughes! Be still my heart!

I love MerryWeathery (https://twitter.com/Merryweatherey), the one behind the Internet Explorer waifu meme that exploded a few years ago. (Ok I know he's not the one who draws all the comics but he's the main guy)

MerryWeathery has one goal - to turn everything into cute anime girls in comic format. And he just does it. Gotta appreciate that energy! And it helped inspire me to draw my own comics again
