Honestly? Sort of a mixed bad.
I really like Mike Krahulik's stuff, also Kazu Kibiushi, a bunch of the warhammer artists (I like Karl Kopinski, John Blanche, and Adrian Smith the most) and a ton of dudes on DA as well:
and
are probably the ones on here that are/were most influential, and the ones who's stuff I enjoy the most.
And how ANY OF THIS relates to the crud I've been churning out recently? Probably not at all, most of the wierd monster stuff I've been doing now is a result of me not really "getting" human anatomy, so I try just muck with it to mask the fact, and maybe learn a little in the process?
