Hi,

I was bored and thought it's time to show you some influences of mine, cause a lot of you were interested in where I get my weird creature ideas from.
I choosed my favourite artists, some of them are well known, others are from deviantart or from books. The arrangement of the single cutouts has nothing to do with a ranking - it was completely random.

first line:
Wayne Barlowe [link]
IRIRIV (Rodrigo Vega) [link]
M0AI (Cory Trego-Erdner) [link]
second line:
VegasMike (Adam Vehige) [link]
Abiogenisis (Alex Ries) [link]
Lieserl (Tiffany Turril) [link]
third line:
Terryl Whitlatch [link]
emla (Emma Lazauski) [link]
nemo-ramjet [link]
fourth line:
dustdevil (Alain Beneteau) [link]
Eiichiro Oda (creator of 'One Piece')
Diz Wallis (one of the illustrators from 'After Man')

So, enough said. I mix all that stuff of these awesome artists up in my thick brain and produce my kind of creatures. Would like to know which artist influenced YOU!
Next week we'll back in the Milky Way, so stay stuned, my friends! :-)

This made me discover some incredible new artists, I just noticed DA is one of the best places to search for ideas related to creature design, obviously if you get to know who's gallery to browse. Thanks

not a bad bunch of influences, I could probably count a few of those among my own :)

thanks, indeed, they're all extreme creative artists - so, many others were influenced by them
