TaintedTamer's Influence Meme

Man, this actually took forever to finish, hahaha - mainly because I was trying to think of what all did inspire me to begin drawing and to join DA and then continue drawing...

Lots of stuff.

Top left - the VERY first thing that inspired me to start drawing was Digimon. I adored Digimon and my brother and I would wake up every morning to watch it on Saturdays when it would show on Fox Kids. I started doodling a bit more 'seriously' as I got into Pokemon too - little Vulpix pic there represents that since Pokemon now just makes me cringe most of the time when I see anything from the 'anime'.

Disney was also had a huge part in inspiring me since I've always loved Disney movies since I was a little kid. It was Inuyasha that got me hooked into other anime and I began to stay up later at night, there for discovering FullMetal Alchemist. My friend showed me Spirited Away and not long after I got hooked on Naruto as well, haha, and I then got into video games thanks to Kingdom Hearts. I played Okami ages after Kingdom Hearts, but I still love these two games to death.

I honestly should have a pic of Transformers: Cybertron since thats what got me into Transformers, but I got lazy and put a pic of Transformers Animated up instead as well as a pic of Movie Bumblebee, lmao. Wall-E represents how much Pixar inspired me as well.

And then there were four deviants in particular whos art inspired me to work harder and draw more - =calger459, *TheMinttu, *JinoSan, and !Raimyu...though sadly she dissapeared not too long after I joined deviantart after her account was hacked. ;-; But there work was what really made me squee when I first joined DA and was a n00b, haha.

Though deviantart as a whole has truly influenced me - from all the friends I've made, the rps I've participated in, and the art and stories I've seen and read. DA is an amazing community and I hope to remain here for years to come and continue to improve my art.
