If your like me, I have to go on a search for inspiration. Whether it be pictures of mechs, faces, helmets, goggles etc. I just want to know what inspires you. Maybe we could get a list or something going so people can come here for ideas when they draw up to a blank?

To kick this off...I look at:

Armored Core mechs
Gundams
Motocross / Motorcycle Helmets
Snowboard goggles
Steam Punk

Things which inspire me:
DeviantART - amazingly huge source of inspiration
Real life - world is full of inspiration
Art Forums - I often find my inspirations at out TB Art Board

I listen to music (no matter what music/ mostly Dn'B) and things pop up in my mind.
I don't look on pictures or anything.
I just look inside my mind.

I'm not looking ofor inspiration, i just have a problem with sleeping ( i'm in bed more than hour b4 i fall asleep) and in that time i've got ideas xD

DeviantArt is the only place that inspires me :v

other than that, i dont use/get/like ideas.
Ask zanz >_>

Iron maiden lol. Also i google alot of mecha heads from time to time.
I also get inspiration from other texture makers, but i don't copy their work at all.

I got inspired for my next set from a car brand logo.


Anything really.

ehehehe.......

halo :>

Seriously though, I'm really inspired by movies and more importantly, video game characters.

The great thing about the video game ones are that there are usually great renders that I can work off of.

Usually, the designs of large franchises are leagues above my own, so the heads turn out nicer looking and better proportions too. Additionally, there would be a fan base which would make selling the head a lot easier.

Novelty stuff, really

Right now, I'm inspired by crysis, which has an excellent model to study, and I hope to be inspired by the suits in the GI joe movie (hopefully, they aren't too detailed or too reflective)

He hates idea's :v (So he says)

I usually look up stuff on Google or Bing.
Usually robots :v

Nothing actually, there's something though :>
I want to get better :>
That's it :v
