Hello again, anon! Dw, I love answering questions.

Regarding inspo, I get a lot of input from all over the place. Generally I gravitate to manga-ish styles, especially recently. A few major turning points in my art life had been hanging out with OFF fanartists in 2010s, reading chainsaw man in mid-2022 and watching my boyfriend do lineart sometime in january (turns out I was approaching lineart all wrong)

Seing how it isn't really anyone singular, I'm about to plug some artists I particularly like atm.

Very cool pencil-like rendering, compositions and environments consistently crazy good. (the account is locked atm i think, hopefully not forever).

found them by going through brushes on csp assets and followed to the account, really wonderful shape design, loose and pleasant. It's a lot like what I wanna be making too, i think

https://vk.com/husohuso This is an artist I studied a ton in 2019, she hatches and designs monsters very well

The lineart and shape design of the hair is god-tier here

Gore warning (or gore invitation, it gets very creative)

https://x.com/sac_macaroni Somehow I arrived at a lot of the same artistic decisions this artist has without me realising, very fun stuff.

Also I've been looking at the way Egon Schiele drew and rendered muscle as of late for a couple weeks, that's why I've been making things sort of bumpier, if that makes any sense.
Might rotate Takato Yamamoto's artwork in my mind sometime this summer as well, if time allows.
(Haven't really considered studying Ayami Kojima before, but thank you for the pointer!)

I do have piterest, but it's for lurking, inspiration and the like, I don't post anything of my own. It's kind of a mess, I have a habit of saving anything I even remotely ever want to see again and leave the sorting for later (read: never),, but i unlocked a few boards in case you'd still be interested lol. https://ru.pinterest.com/ciclopsthe/
