Artists
These would be influences
|
Ben Dunn
(Ninja High School) |
I loved his older style
better but the
new one is good, just in a different way.
He doesn't seem to be spending as much time working on details, though.
:(
Much of my art style was initially influenced by his old style,
especially Aeyar's boots, how to draw profiles, and how to draw noses.
Lately, I've been leaning back towards Kazuhiro Ochi's style, and I've
been picking up from others, as well.
|
Kazuhiro Ochi
(Cosmic Fantasy) |
No wonder I liked the
games so much!
I started drawing really anime-style because of Mr. Ochi's work. Over
the years, I've tried several times to mimic his eyelash style, but
haven't been successful as of yet. I've pretty much always used his eye
style, except at the very beginning, when I did something horrible.
Most characters I draw use his eye style, although a couple are
different.

Jim Davis
(Garfield, US Acres) |
I've always been a big fan
of Garfield.
Perhaps that's why I seem so sarcastic. I liked US Acres, too but it's
gone!
The simplicity of his bipedal animals made me start drawing.
|
Shirow Masamune
(Ghost in the Shell) |
The first thing of his I
read was Appleseed, so I like
it best. GitS is pretty cool,
but I really didn't like the first movie.
I haven't seen the 2nd movie or either TV show extensively yet, but
they
seem better.
He's just awesome at art overall, and I like his complex plots. I
sometimes steal his funny cat mouth, generally for Dusk.

Musicians
I prefer classical or jazz music
I like interesting compositions
Most remixes suck
|
Yuzo Koshiro
(Actraiser) |
Actraiser was simply
amazing.
How could you do that with video game music? His ambient music in the
"Thor" AKA "Oasis" games was pretty interesting.
|
Nobuo Uematsu
(Final Fantasy) |
After doing a super-human
job on the
score for Final Fantasy VI, he's simply been unable to match his
brilliance
since. :\ |
Yoko Kanno
(Cowboy Bebop) |
She can create such an
incredible range of music. Classical, jazz, pop, rock. You name it,
she's done it. Some of the more experimental or gimmicky pieces can be
annoying, though. On the whole, highly recommended! |
Maaya Sakamoto
(Vision of Escaflowne) |
She works with Yoko Kanno
a
LOT (almost exclusively?), so it's no surprise that I found I liked her
as
well.
She's the only singer on this list! |
Alan Silvestri
(Many movies)
|
Mr. Silvestri has done a
huge number of movie
scores like Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, Fern
Gully,
etc. |
