So, this is something I stumbled upon one day on dA. Figured some of you folks might find it interesting.

An influence map is what the name implies. A visual representation of all the things that influence you. How does one look like?


My own influence map:


To explain the obvious trends, when I was little I had a cousin who was constantly importing things from across the sea. Also grew up watching adult swim with me bro and sis.
Although to be honest, I'm already finding myself wanting to change a lot of things on mine (Like including Matt Laskowski for one). Goes to show how little life experience I have I suppose (^_^;)

But yea, if anyone else wants to make an influence map you can find the template here: http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/art/...4550753?q=&qo=
Personally I think it'd be pretty cool to find out what artists/media influences each of us.
