Influence Map

Posted by pijon on 2012/7/31 14:15:39
Alright, since I haven't said it loud enough in the "Hello, is anybody home?" or in the gallery, I want to issue a challenge to everyone... mods, members, lurkers too! Don't worry! It's not hard (unless you want it to be) and I guarantee you'll like what you've done! Not only that, folks here might even learn a bit about you as an artist too.


Matthew M. Laskowski AKA fox-orion has created the coolest meme ever with this one. It's 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 challenge you all to create one

I really would do like to do more of them, maybe more theme based, like genre inspiration map or movies or characters or comics or writers or places or a combination of all! So do as many as you like however you like but just do it!

Chillyplasma had some interesting variation ideas as well influence non-map and non-influence map.

I've heard a lot of people saying they want too see challenges and group participation is important. Everybody should step up for this one... ONE EVERYBODY CAN DO... NO EXCUSES. Don't make me start calling you all out, one at a time!
Well, as a great man I once knew said... "Hello, is anybody home?"

(Later edit) Huh... whuddayaknow? Turns out lots of folks are home! Posts and comments are up, folks using the shoutbox and even Mods makin' improvements! Cheers everybody! Now make those influence maps! Here's what we got so far:

Here's what we got so far:






Cheers to Starchild, Vash99, Darth Paul, Cattle, Finister, OCP, Daswook, B, Hisstoryman, JMonteiro, MissVee, DrVillain Dark_Wanderer and Machobubba for stepping up to the challenge!
