Tajii's Influence Map

_{My influence map <3 These are really only the artists I've been inspired by- but there are so many other things, places and friends that inspire me! My dA watchers and friends are my number one inspiration; everytime I hear your comments, it makes me strive to work even harder to improve!}

Here are the different inspirations, listed from top left to bottom right:

1) Tagl: Before I'd joined the website, I'd seen her artwork and really wanted to work on my own traditional work! I joined the website with the hopes that I would be able to use traditional media like she did <3 Her colors are so bright and intense- they're beautiful ^^

2) Red-Priest-Usada: I absolutely love her characters! Her soft colors, beautiful compositions and concepts only help enhance her artwork- she's such a talented artist <3

3) Kathy100: She was another inspirational artist to me even before I joined- I've always loved her beautiful and cheerful colors; her wonderful backgrounds and creative characters!

4) Nuriko-kun: I really love nuriko's style~~ And her characters <3 She comes up with the most awesome ideas; and I always love how she portrays her characters!

5) Meago: Meago's art is wonderful! Her manga especially really inspires me >w< Her characters are adorable ^^

6) Samurai 7: This wasn't my first anime, but it was the first I watched and finished completely. My uncle suggested it, and I instantly fell in love with it! I really only got into artwork after I watched it- I drew TONS of pictures of the main samurai <3

7) Kaze-Hime: Kaze-Hime was the artist I found first on dA; so much like tagl, I joined dA because her work inspired me so much! Her drawings are so refined, and are always so beautiful~

8) Miss Grave: I really love the way she uses traditional media! Both her characters and style are incredibly neat ^3^

9) Hellobaby: I really love her style of work <3 It's both refined and unique- and the way she incorporates themes and colors into her work is just astounding ^__^ She's been a huge inspiration of mine for a while now ^o^

10) Kaoru-chan: Kaoru has incredibly beautiful artwork <3 I've always admired the way she uses color; and her artworks in general are always breathtaking <3

11) Hoshino Soumei: Artist of the manga "Alice in the country of Hearts" <3 I'm a sucker for bishies- and so, I really admire the way she draws her men ^^ She has such a smooth style ^__^

12) Udonnodu: I really love the lush colors that the artist uses~~ As well as her unique style ^^ It really stands alone; it's really beautiful <3

13) Odin Sphere: I was going through an Odin Sphere craze when I first joined deviantART; I remember it like it was yesterday ;D I've ALWAYS loved the art of Odin Sphere, it's just simply gorgeous <3

14) Dazed Pink: Her artwork has been inspiring for me for a very long while- When she did an art trade with me and made me that beautiful picture of Tajii~~ I admired her even more >//< She's a wonderful person and an amazing artist!

15) Emperpep: The way he uses traditional media never fails to amaze me! Whether it's watercolor, color pencil... his pictures are always gorgeous <3 I love all of the additional detail he adds in as well!

16) Laverinne: For me, the best part of her artwork are the details- I think it's just amazing.. how she can put in so much detail without making a picture look crowded *_* Her art is beautiful!

17) LanWu: I really love the concept in her work; each and every one of her pieces is so creative! And I really enjoy her beautiful art style <3

18) Nacrym: Her ToS chibis got me into dA too <3 I really love her artwork; her art style is really amazing ^__^ Her Gintama pictures also got me into Gintama- which is one of my favorites shows XD;

19) Cartoongirl7: Her style is just so incredibly adorable! I always love the details in her work and I really admire the way she works with traditional media~!

20) The Final Fantasy Series: Especially FF7- which somehow, really got me interested in different aspects of art. I originally watched Advent Children before even playing the game (I'd never gotten a hold of it) and instantly fell in love with Cloud. That marked the time where I started practicing with guys XD I later went on to play Dirge of Cerberus, the original game and then Crisis Core.. which made me cry ;u;
