Influence Map meme

Coming to the end of my first year with art as my sole job, I'll be posting some memes to get a particular sense of whence I've come, where I stand, and where I'm going.

This one covers the main influences on me becoming serious about drawing, going back almost twenty years. I did follow the meme's additional challenge of one 3x3, two 2x2, etc., mainly because that made it a sort of puzzle, and you can see what the biggest influence is.

Row by row from the top, left to right:
John R. Neill's illustrations for the Oz books;
Traditional Catholic and Orthodox religious art;
Malice Mizer;
Fire Emblem 4: Seisen no Keifu;
Ace Attorney and Professor Layton;
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle;
Final Fantasy VII, especially the environments;
giz-art ;
The Legend of Zelda, particularly Wind Waker;
Pokemon;
Pre-Raphaelite art;
Patrick Palmer, my main teacher in art school; and
Ebineyland, as a inspiration for the future as I newly move into gouache.

I am very grateful to the makers of all these works and I hope someday to achieve something comparable.
