Influence Map... — Description
EDIT 18 Feb 2014: ADDED FREE! IWATOBI SWIM CLUB (because those guys are awesome and they're helping me with anatomy... ) as new influence and DELETED SKIP BEAT because, if there was an influence, now there isn't.

EDIT 28 Sep 2013: ADDED WILD ADAPTER, BLEACH & HIRUNAKA NO RYUUSEI (love Mika's style!!) as new influences and DELETED W.I.T.C.H. because I think its influence is long gone, by now.

EDIT 05 Oct 2011: ADDED SAIYUKI and forced it to be my main influence/source of inspiration from now on!!! Minekura's style is just... PERFECT!!! 1st place taken at a single stroke.

The number of images is proportional to the influence a manga/anime has on my style... Or at least I think so...
Anyway, these are only the main ones...

Well, then... From past to present :

1- W.I.T.C.H. (Disney): I began to draw thanks to this italian comic, in 2001!!

2- Ranma ½ (Rumiko Takahashi): in 2003, I switched to the manga-universe thanks to Ranma and I made looooooooooooots of drawings about it!

3- SHAMAN KING (Hiroyuki Takei): As you know well, it was my main fandom when I joined DA (and since 2004), even if now it doesn't hold the 1st place anymore. Anyway, my love for it surely lasted for about 5 years! Now I'm almost not able to draw in Takei style anymore!! I'm a bit sorry for that, though...

4- KUROSHITSUJI (Yana Toboso): the first, real Shaman King "enemy". I love Yana Toboso's style and I think it had a big influence in my last drawings, from the last year.

5- Skip Beat (Yoshiki Nakamura): I discovered this really cute and funny manga about show-business more than a year ago. And I think both the anime and the manga influenced my drawings a bit.

I didn't put other mangas, such as Vampire Knight and Hellsing, because I don't think I ended up with putting something from their style in my drawings, even if I like them pretty much!!

And that's all, folks!!!
