DragonAnalei's Influence Map 2015

NOBODY is allowed to use this in any way

I was feeling uninspired, so I decided to do this to try and fix it. I've seen a bunch of people do it and I thought it would be fun. Hopefully this will help me in the future if I'm ever uninspired again. I did put some fellow artists on here because they've inspired me a lot in the past and present. There are many more artists that inspire me, but if I put them all up here, all the squares would be filled and there'd still be more after that lol. I put the main ones that I could think of.

And look I made it pretty!

Aaaannyways. On to telling you guys why I chose these things.



Winx Club Winx Club has probably been the biggest thing that has influenced my art. This show is what sparked my desire to practice drawing all of the time and become an artist.  The best seasons were definitely 1-3. I've always loved the art style in this show. I loved the outfits and characters so much. X3 Winx Club's art style is where my art style rooted from (which is kinda obvious lol), but eventually my style evolved into what it is today. (and i'm still practicing XD)

DeviantART Artists Ameryliz KelleeArt chocolatesmoothie fantazyme SamoanVampCatt AshaYay I chose these specific 6 artists because over the years they probably influenced me the most. For some of them I've even loved their art since before I even got an account on Deviantart. I love their styles and characters...and how all of them draw hair. *_*

I also put the DeviantART logo (the old one) to represent all the rest of the amazing artists on this website that I've met. I've made many friends and discovered so much amazing art!

Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender I've loved the Avatar universe since forever. I love the art style, the story, the characters, the bending, everything! It's all amazing! This is probably what influences my character's powers. I imagine them to be more like "bending" than "throwing fairy glitter beams at enemies" like the newest seasons of Winx Club does.

2D & 3D Animated Movies/ Shows I love animated movies and shows. My favorite shows are pretty much on this list, but there are more that I like. All of the work they put into the animations fascinates me. I also tend to get really excited when I see storyboards for them. XD They're just soooo coooool. I put Big Hero 6 as the picture to represent this because I ADORE this movie! It was fantastic!

Nature This world is full of so many amazing and beautiful things. Plants and animals. The sky. Weather. Seasons. The list goes on.

Yu-Gi-Oh! This is my childhood right here. *_* I've been into Yu-Gi-Oh since before I can remember. It's one of the few things my brother and I both like lol. We used to collect cards so much and duel each other often. I love the first 3 series, DM, GX, and 5D's the most. I never really got into Zexal, though, and I haven't seen Arc-V yet. Yugioh The Abridged Series also goes into this category. I love it more than words can describe. 

Star Trek My entire family loves Star Trek. It's just been in my entire life. We watch it often. We own all of the series. My favorite out of all of them would have to be Star Trek: Voyager though. This influences my life more than my art, but I thought I'd add it anyways.

MLP:FiM This show is so cute. It has great characters, a great story, great songs, and the style is so adorable. I've been getting more into drawings ponies recently. You'll probably see more in my gallery sometime in the future.

Music I rarely ever draw without listening to music. It calms me and focuses me. It helps me find inspiration. Music is a wonderful thing to draw to.

Barbie Last, but not least, Barbie. Like most little girls, I grew up playing with barbie dolls and watching barbie movies. I must admit, I still love those barbie movies. (The old ones. I'm not too fond of the newer ones.) They had great messages and songs. Barbie and Winx Club were probably my biggest influences to get me to love designing things like clothes and characters. I put Rosella from Barbie as The Island Princess as the picture because that was my favorite out of all the barbie movies. Her dress is GORGEOUS and is still my favorite barbie dress today.



Welp, that's it guys. Congratulations if you got through reading all of that. ^_^
