O.K., here it is, my influence map. I took a different approach where instead of putting in artists, writers or other creators I chose a selection of some intellectual properties that have influenced me the most, so I guess you could include the all the various creative individuals that made these happen. Also, I put some of them together rather than having two images b/c those just are kind of equal to me. Anyhow this is it, complete with my habit of using gradients and glow effects as design elements.
Oooh, glowy. A lot of Saturday-morning nostalgia here. I went through a TMNT phase, and a Transformers one, and a Next Gen one (though not so much into the other Treks)... And some Japanese stuff too, which always does my heart good. Zelda! Awesome.
Thanks guys, glad you like my choices. Also, as you can see I tried to use images that were all inclusive of as many of the important characters of each property as possible or showcased the evolution or histories of them that have been integral in putting their influence on me and my art.
Way cool, bud! All the super-est of super-groups! Nice of you to give rival Star Gangs equal time too. I'm less familiar with the game stuff(Mega-Man, Zelda) but I know well enough who they are too. Cool list, you managed to incorporate your distinctive design style too! Well done!
