When I was 15 and first developing my style, my main influences were japanese drawing styles (animé and manga), various french comic artists (particularly the work of Aurore BlackCat) and Art Nouveau (particularly Alphonse Mucha). I was also inspired by the Disney films I grew up watching, especially The Little Mermaid. I made a ton of Ariel fan art in my early digital art days! I then joined DeviantArt and found a lot of inspiration from artwork I found there. I continue to be inspired by a wide range of artists whose work I follow online. Here is an influence map that gives a general idea of the different artists and people who influenced my style.
