What inspires you?

[esquarecomics]

Pretty straight forward, what inspires your work or what inspires you to be motivated?

[JaveCraze]

Other comics, seeing cool art on my pinterest and the fact that if I don't finish this my story will never see the light of day.
I guess, also, improving and getting better.

I have these stories and character that I've created and feel attached to, and I want to share it with people.
Also, the hope that one day I can have a sustainable career in comic

Kinda easily draw inspo from lots of places honestly -
Some of the main ones include:
Videogames - avid gamer and went on to study game design, the comic series I've been working on started as a game Idea but it became easier to make a comic.
Some faves include Shadow of The Colossus, Devil May Cry, Dead Space, Street Fighter, MGS and Final Fantasy Series - their range in visual styles, cinematography, personality and costume design across genres.
Horror Movies love the way they light their sets to create suspense. Also enjoy watching how they handle the concept of fear/curiosity of the unknown in their presentation.

Guy Fashion
enjoy styling up so it brushes off in art style

Music and Music videos
I'm a hobby musician and enjoy the various moods songs and their accompanying videos can create.

Motivation would be the seeing the dedication and success of game devs, film crew, and musicians I'm a fan of,
The positive feedback from my own followers motivate me too.

That's a huge inspiration for me also. Just movies in general.

If I'm unmotivated, I become inspired by making edits or mood boards for my stories because it helps gain a new perspective on what to do. I also write random words that I think will describe the next chapter.

Comments. I love hearing the Opinions of others and seeing what they were able to capture in the art or message I just released in my Webcomics.
also, music: some music just get me in the mood to draw:heart_03:

I think it's the idea of putting out something I created myself. Like, who else is going to create this story if not me? Heck, it might be an impossible dream, but I'm willing to go with it.

Also, reading other manga and webcomics always inspire me to create my own. I just want to share my story with others and possibly inspire other people as well.

[Spectorium_1]

Manga, manhwa. But what inspires my writing the most is just the people around me and the feedback/comments I get.

[Lensing]

I´m trying to give a simple answer to this.
Reading comics and listening to rock´n´roll inspires me to draw comics and play rock´n´roll.
I can´t listen to rock´n´roll when I draw because it makes me to grab a guitar, bass or sing
after a few minutes. I hear a riff, beat, etc and I´m inspired to play.

There is something deep inside of me that inspires me to communicate via stories, comics and
music and also something deep inside of me which keeps inspiring me to create and have ideas
but I can´t say what it is because I´m not a psychologist.
What inspires people to build a house, make a lot of money, reproduce etc, it´s instincts.
I don´t want to reprodcue and I don´t care about being rich or famous or status but I´m constantly
inspired to create something

Spite.

Ok Lemme stop hahah, the consuming want that turned to a firey need to see folks like me represented in my favorite forms of media.

Lookit me getting to the point all succinctly

[Kuma]

Like many great writers in the past, I'm inspired by the burning hatred inside me.

In reality, I like writing worlds where I control the outcome and I can create at least happy endings. Reality is quite chaotic and unpredictable, but stories are everything but that, at least to whoever writes them.

[powerplantanimations]

A stable career. Creating a brand........ girls.

But I love sharing my ideas and creating this window inside my head for people to look in.

Music is a big one tho.

Good question, I never thought much about it. Maybe it'd be telling a story that is so deep and important to me. My comic is heavily inspired by my own life as a mental disordered person, so it means a lot to me to tell to others how it is really, how it's confusing and chaotic. And why not put some lovely BL on it? :3 Reading BL inspires me to make a better job on mine, too.
Comments are a fuel too, it makes me want to work better and harder on it. Knowing there's someone out there who's enjoying what i'm putting into the world...
Also the idea that I'm creating something! The act of creating in itself is very inspiring. I've already said in another topic that I see as something magical the act of creation, so yeah xD

[gh0st_V]

honestly half stubbornness and half spite. but even those are running low lately.

[XiuLyn_12]

Other artists' work, especially in a style I want to achieve.
animation movies inspire me too. And money, low-key.
