Influence Map 2015 (Patreon)

So I decided to put together an updated influence map for my work! Here are the artists who are the biggest influence on my visual and storytelling style. Each image size is roughly proportionate to how much I draw from that particular person. 1) F.W. Murnau - One of the pioneers of German Expressionism. His adaptation of Faust is unbelievable. 2) Hiromu Arakawa - Best known for Fullmetal Alchemist, she's an incredible cartoonist with a strong sense of pacing and scale. 3) Moebius - King Shit of Fuck Mountain 4) Fritz Lang - Director of Metropolis, innovator of both German Expressionism and Film Noir. 5) Masamune Shirow - Groundbreaking cartoonist in the field of design and kinetic action. Best known for Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell. 6) Tatsuyuki Tanaka - Animator and author of Cannabis Works. Master of grotesque, gripping scenery and environmental storytelling. 7) Hayao Miyazaki - No explanation required. 8) François Schuiten - Artist behind The Obscure Cities series. Magnificent architecture. 9) Syd Mead - Futurist and concept designer for such films as Blade Runner. 10) Enrique Fernandez - Spanish artist behind marvelous books like L'île sans sourire and Brigada. He takes digital painting to a completely knew level.
