Influence Map — Description
I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but haven't had the patience for it until now. An influence map (for those who cant figure it out themselves) is a selection of artists that inspires someone and has helped that person create their own style from taking bits and pieces of their styles. INSPIRATION!

First off, I have to address my biggest influences:
Eiichiro Oda is, and always has been my biggest inspiration. When I first started reading One Piece way back in 5th Grade, I always idolized his style. It's very cartoony and funny while still sticking to anatomy. But I think it's his character design in general that I really fell in love with overall (even though his characters are just spot on and evolve and grow and are so dynamic sjdhfsdfkhhhhhhh) he knows how to go bigger and higher and ridiculous without making it impractical and I really enjoy the characters whoare based off of actors, real people, or movie characters. (Like Franky is based off of Jim Carry's Ace Ventura character) Also his layouts and colors make me explode inside with joy and rainbows an' shit.

HaisimCoui is by far--there is no beating his color theory and his character designs. His outfits are intricate and colorful while still sticking with this underwater whimzy that I'm really attracted to. (I dont understand what underwater whimzy is either but youll see if you click the link down below) Just--how does one make such beautiful art on TegakiE? Haisi is one of those artists who make art that is meant to be viewed both close up and far away and I envy that. Also his freakin' landscapes and spacescapes blow my mind off into infinity.

And then the biggest of them all, my friend !!!!! She's just...amazing, okay? You should all follow her. End of story.
