Who inspires your art style?

[GothickangelStudios]

I got hooked on Astro Boy in the 80s. It was black and white then. Then went more into the horror and supernatural genres of manga+anime. And on the flip side I love chibis.
Vampire Hunter D (1980s) ...I love the more realistic horror manga style and movies. I find such beauty in that specific style. Or the original Hellsing manga/anime too.

Obviously Naruto 🥷

I don't know if anything specific inspires my art style - I always just tried to go for "semi-realistic" - but if I had to choose someone as an inspiration for my style I'd say the illustrator beidak! dont remember his actual name off the top of my head but he goes by beidak on social media :^) but i dont think our styles are super alike

Bungo Stray Dogs for the eyes
Shoujo manga for the size of said eyes and the hair.
I used Symphogear as a reference when working on bodies
stuff like that

My art has been evolving a lot recently but I've realized that I use blocky, sharp forms a lot because of the 90s and early 2000s DC cartoons and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. So Bruce Timm (I think) and Hirohiko Araki have stayed a constant in my drawing mind.

Lavendertowne was my biggest inspiration for developing my art style

And also Nirami

At first I started to copy Lavendertowne's art style when I was just starting to draw and later on I tweaked a few things and made it my own (her tuts really helped)
I started to use the big comically sized eyes that Nirami uses for her goofy sona (I thought it was really cute)

My old art style for Sagas was heavily influenced by Berserk and Vagabond or just a lot of seinen manga in general which you can definitely see it in the early chapters.

As the story progressed it started to look more shonen but the biggest influences have been both Dragon Ball and Seven Deadly Sins! You can definitely see it in the most recent chapters in Sagas and my new series Twin Dragonslayers. Even the coloring is heavily inspired by the way Nakaba colors.

90s disney for sure. I love the looks.

[Red_Dog]

I have a lot of things that do that, but for what I'm doing right now with my life I'd say these are the main three:

[ambermdo]

Mostly animated Disney movies

[Maxouco]

Mostly Final Fantasy, Tales of Series and lots of oriental stuff.

Oh and Totally Spies...

I would say my art style was inspired by one punch man "one" and Yusuke Murata.

Kentaro Miura

Makoto Yukimura

Tuoni Myllylä

Petri Hiltunen

Tove Jansson.

First art style inspirations were various euro comic artists and comics like
Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke, Clever & Smart
And they will always have an influence on me and how I see comics.

Then I discovered artists like Dean Yeagle, Harvery Kurtzman/Will Elder
and different other artists who drew beautiful females and that influenced
me, is still my main motivation to learn how to draw.

Will Eisner and Jordi Bernet made me fall in love with black and white comics
and are also art style influences.

Disney is also an influence.

2 main components which influence my art style / things I love to draw
are cartoony and sexy stuff

[CarltonIsaac]

Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke,

Hurrah! Didn't make my top ten, but are honorable mentions.

I love to draw are cartoony and sexy stuff

You will never walk alone, brother.

My inspiration still is the everyday, the atmosphere or weather from the day, i took pictures sometimes so i can use them as reference of the colors of clouds, how lights affects the houses, the nature. It's like unconsciously. But if i have to say like something specific, we go back long long time ago. The animation of Gumball, the graphics and atmosphere from GTA 4 and 5, and what i still consider ahead of time the animation of the movie Haruhi Suzumiya animation. But that was in the very beginning, almost childhood and my otaku phase, there's still more and i don't think I'm the only one, as we evolve we like other things that complement our style, but those were like the foundations of everything, my purpose is to make an style close to reality mixed with animation and surpass my own inspirations, which makes me want to surpass myself everytime. And make that young Lucy boy happy and proud

Back in the early 1990's my art style was very obviously influenced by The Simpsons:

Eventually I outgrew that "Simpsons" phase though, and moved toward something more my own (with a very slight Bloom County influence)

The actual story telling style was a mixture of newspaper-comic-inspired one-offs with only a few panels, and some longer stories similar to the old Archie comics (I was a huge Archie comic fan back in the 1980's).

When I came back from my multi-decade hiatus I went with more realism.

I do want to come up with a comic style though, because I really do want to tell the Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days story in a comic

[abigaillmartin]

Lots of anime expressions and a lot of 2D cartoons from the early 2000s.

Oh and Totally Spies...

Now that's a dangerous series to take inspiration from! It's a great show but the subtext is less arcane these days then it used to be...
