Bleach. Definitely. But I was actually inspired by a friend of mine! ^^

I haven't really read any manga sadly....
Only Tokyo Mew Mew and Lucky Star as well as Miki Falls and Brody's Ghost of course.
As for inspirations I would say works of Hayo Miyazaki and especially Mark Crilley.
Also, with my current Yu-Gi-Oh! obsession, Kazuki Takahashi is an inspiration as well.

I like a lot of the old styles like Akira Toriyama, Disney, Don Bluth, Osamu Tezuka, Yoshihiro Togashi, and in the newer styles I like Tite Kubo, Tracey Yardley, Senri Kita, Ben Bates, Jay Naylor, Hiroyuki Takei, and quite a few others.
