Description I got a bit messy with this, just there was so much to put in that has been major for me.

Megeman NT Warrior: This show came out when I was very young, and I adored the games. I still love it to this day, and it has inspired quite a few of the designs I've given to characters, mainly if it involves a power suit or armor design.

Back to the Future Trilogy: Came out WAY before I was born, but thanks to my parents, I got to grow up with it. It was my first Time Travel film and I just loved it. Especially Marty. XD He just always made me laugh. It's inspired me to do a lot of things with stories, including even trying to write my own time travel story.

Trauma Series: Should not be surprise that this is on here. I put New Blood since they were my first game. The style was so unique to me when I was first introduced and I wanted to draw like it for somethings. It also inspired some of my earlier stories that weren't all that great. >_> I will admit, I wrote some really crappy rip off stories back in my earlier days. And now this whole series is basically what makes up the majority of gallery. It was thanks to them I wanted to improve on drawing humans. Hats off to you Trauma Gang.

Legend of Zelda: Another thing from my childhood. I grew up watching my brothers play these games, and then playing along with them. My major favorites stem to the classic games Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask. When I was little I was always drawing Link on paper along with his many tools... and had a bit of a habit of drawing the triforce on my left hand. I just know my best memories of Zelda involved playing the Ocarina and traveling to all the different locations in Hyrule.  

Sonic the Hedgehog: This was basically the fandom I started in before Trauma Center came along. I haven't played any of the recent games but I did grow up playing Adventure Battle 2, which was and still is my favorite Sonic game of all time. It told a great story, had fun game mechanics, and one of my favorite features, the chaos. I drew mobians a lot before I started wanting to get better at humans. I really did not like drawing people, it was the bane of my existence when I was young. Though Sonic was a good place to start with trying to learn a bit of anatomy. Mainly hands. 

Turbo: One of my most recent inspirations. Sooo... Before the movie came out I got to go Dreamworks thanks to my cousin Andrew. I hadn't seen any commercials for Turbo and had no idea what it was. I was introduced to it at the studio, and was given the artbook for it. It was also this same day that I wanted to improve on my work after getting some advice from my cousin and looking through the book. I've learned a lot since then. So, this movie was the kick start of me wanting to do better. Also the story is amazing, and I relate to Theo on so many levels.

Custom Robo: Yet another game I grew up with. The game has good memories of me playing with my brothers and the characters are just hilarious. The designs were amazing too, lots of inspiration in that department.

Unwind: I got introduced to this book series because of buddies. It's eerie, it's dark, and the concepts are just so rattling... I love it. The story has been amazing and the world feels like a world. I look forward to the day a movie is actually made for this series. The characters are great, and it's nice to look to for inspiration in that area. 

Digimon: Particularly the First season. I loved 2 and 3, but the first was the best for me. I grew up watching this show and I still love it to this day. Though... Funnily enough I hadn't realized how many bad puns were in this show. XD Things you don't notice when you're young... But aside from that, great concepts, lots of inspiration in story telling.

Pokemon: I wanna be the very best! Like no one ever was! And I need to stop breaking into song. I remember getting my Yellow Version for my Gameboy Color... I was really little. But pokemon was something I enjoyed a lot, and even attempted to draw many times. The designs were inspiring and even some of the story concepts were great too. I still look back and can always find something I like.

Sherlock: Just about any of them. They give a lot of ideas for stories and I just love watching for the thrill they bring of solving a crime. Also... a good laugh with Sherlock's wit, and the bantering that goes on between him and Watson. And with all the different versions I've been trying to write my own with all the inspiration each one brings.

PIXAR: I've loved pretty much every single movie this company has put out. I've read so many things about it from how it got started to some of the things behind some of their big films. The founder, John Lasseter is someone I look up to a lot for all that he has done, and that he basically started PIXAR as just a computer company before it became the big animation company we know today. It is one of my dreams to one day work there and watching their movies has always brought a smile on my face, along with inspiration. John Lasseter is on my list of people I want to meet one day when I get into the animation industry. 

Meet the Robinsons: Another time travel story. I was introduced to this film on a random day in art class. I remember seeing the trailers and being unsure what to think. It's one of my favorite movies Disney has put out. It tells a great heart warming story, and the importance of family. I tried drawing Lewis and Wilbur a lot back in the day. XD failed miserably, but I think I could probably draw them now when I get a moment. It also features one of my favorite songs "Little Wonders" which I listen to whenever I'm feeling sad. It always cheers me up.

Warriors: Yes, that cat book series that never seems to end. Despite how repetitious it got, some of the story elements were clever and heck, have inspired some of the works I've written. I loved the world building that was done in these books, along with the culture that was built up in them. I may have never finished the series, but I know Warriors did help me out when it came to coming up with ideas.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: There are a lot of things that this show has inspired for me. Like Warriors, lots of world building. I've wanted to be sure that the worlds I've made are well thought out just like they are in this show. I love the art style for this show and it's always nice to look at when I'm dry on design ideas for locations. Story elements too.

Code Lyoko: I remember coming home from school and excited to turn on the TV knowing Code Lyoko was going to be on in a few minutes. Before Trauma Center, I did draw some humans... they were just on the stiff side. (I did not know what posing meant.) I still love this show. I have yet to watch all of Evolution, but I just have fond memories of this show. It's inspired me a lot in both design and stories. (I'm sorry if some of these are sounding repetitious but some of them are similar cases in how they inspire me.)

My Family: The one thing I drew on this whole thing. Seriously, I don't know where I would be if I didn't have the support of my family. They've helped me so much in keeping me going, and getting me out of bad slumps when they hit. They help me get the assets I need, and even help figure out on how I'm gonna get into the animation industry. If anything, if my family loves my work... then that's all I'll need. They've inspired some of the characters in stories I've written, and even how I write some stories. Love you guys.

Disney Planes: Story, characters, and music. This movie impressed me. First trailer made it look stupid, then other things came out... and my mind changed. Yeah yeah, similar to Turbo in the aspect of it's an underdog story but Planes does have it own flare. (And yes I love both films on an equal level.) I loved watching this film and still do. The animation is just so smooth and all the accuracy and research that went into is just incredible. The guy who directed, Klay Hall, is another person I want to meet one day when I get into the industry. He put a lot of love into this movie, to the point of basing one of the main characters off a family member of his. He grew up around planes, and even drew them. This was a dream come true in a sense. This movie holds a special place in my heart... and my gallery since at least a quarter of my work is Planes fan art now.

Black Jack: (The anime) I was introduced to this show not too long after I found out what Trauma Center was. I loved watching every episodes, and made it an effort to be sure to see every last one. The characters were amazing, and the story ideas were neat too. (And weird some times.) Lot of inspiration for stories came from this show and I still look back to it when I'm stuck.

Disney: You may have noticed I've put two their films up in my map when I could've easily just had this here. Well for those two films, those were major inspirations. I've loved a lot of things Disney has put out, and it doesn't help that I grew up with classic Disney films. Whenever I'm working on art I'm constantly listening to music, and majority of the time it's music that's from their movies. Disney is not perfect, I know they've had bad films, and there are some things they have done that aren't right, but they've inspired me in many ways to want to be sure I can be the best I can be.

TRON: The big one. Especially in art. I got introduced to it thanks to Kingdom Heart II. I always loved the concepts from these two films and the designs were always appealing to me. Especially the whole glow in the dark armor. It just... I don't know. Something about it just has me drawn to it. To those who have read my Data Warriors Trilogy, the whole thing was inspired by these films. I got inspired to make a world thanks to the designs of the Grid. That for me, is very special, so hats off to TRON.

And that's about it. Long drabble of stuff. :T 

Enjoy!
