Trying to exploit the template grid into a comic page style to pay tribute to some of the very talented and funny folk at MAD from those early and middle years.
I can't believe nobody had mentioned John Severin yet in their Influence Maps, even in people they didn't include!  |

Matthew M. Laskowski AKA fox-orion has created something called an Influence Map.
The idea is a very simple one: you take a 1462 H x 1000 W and divide it into a grid. You then fill those grids with 3x3, 2x2, 2x1 and 1x1 tiles containing images of whatever has inspired you as an artist. Whatever you want... photos, paintings, comics, your art, someone else's art, 3D, vector, whatever... hell, if you wanna go off the grid, go nuts!
I suggested this as a monthly challenge in the forums and all I hear is crickets chirping. Everybody SEZ they want challenges but do they really? I say yr all little be-yotches who won't step up!   I'm openly challenging all members, mods and lurkers to step up and do one... if you think it's too hard, it's not... if you think it's too easy you'll find it's not that either. I've opened my brain and showed you what spilled out... let's see what's in your head!
You can be sure I'll be doing this little exercise again in the future.

You ask for it. A glimpse into the mind of OCP. 
Not even 1% of my influences, but some of the ones that inspired me and that made part of my growing years. 
This was fun.

Some of my favorite toons..
Thought I'd try an experiment to see if I'd still feel like I didn't have enough spaces... yup, still not enough I did use different sized tiles underlapping the grid to define groups of films by individuals or organizations as the 2x2 blocks (4 squares) used for Bakshi, Pixar and Disney, all of whom have larger bodies of work worth checking out too. Long 3 x 1 blocks used for Laloux, Miyazaki and Ohtomo, and just two (2x1) for Linklater. There's 2 shorts that made the list...
One, The Man Who Planted Trees is 30 minutes long but worth your time. Watch here |

| 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. |

| here's mine although this isnt an official challenge i thought it might be better to put it here. if you mods have a problem with it feel free to move it to a gallery of your choosing. as you see i had nowhere near the same influences as pijon...but e did relate on a couple and just like him i had nowhere near enough room to put all my choices. i wasn't sure if i was supposed to adhere to the guidelines of the map so i toook a few liberties with mine. hope you like and feel free to ask about my choices. |

Brunnhilde, once thought to be the future leader of the Valkyriors, was cast out of Asgard at a young age after defying Odin's orders. Odin banished her to Midgard for her insolence.
Brunnhilde awoke in the middle of the rain forest in a guerrilla camp. She had no memories of her life before in Asgard and the guerrilla's raised her as one of it's members, giving her the name Renata Gonzuela.
While trekking through the jungle one morning she happened upon a slain griffin and found a hatchling under it's wing. Renata took in upon herself to secretly raise this young griffin and named it Soar.
Renata, now fully grown, fights for the Brazilian people against it's governmental regime as The Amazon. |
