I thought this would be an interesting thread to see what each of us are looking at and considering while we are trying to find our own styles, and inspirations. This would also be a great way to introduce other people on this site to new artist. Before we get started here's a few rules, so this runs a little smoothly.
1) This is to show people your inspirations as well as artists who interest you, so try to make sure it's organized.
2) Don't just post their name, post next to it a list of works they've done.
- If they do illustrations, just say illustrations.
- If they do pin-up, just say pin-ups.
3) If you want to leave a link to some of their work, make sure the link is in parentheses next to the name of the work.
4) If they have a blog, post "blog (link)", so if we're interested we can check it out.
- Same goes for DA, YouTube, etc.
5) If you know them from online, post their username, unless their username is all you know them by, or their username is their name, like Mark Crilley or Sycra Yasin.
6) If there's something special you want to note about the artist, make sure to post it below the artist's works with five spaces a hyphen and then "NOTE:" written out before writing it on there.
7) Double space between artists. (This is for organization purposes.)
8) One post per person.
9) Do not comment on or quote what another person has posted as their inspirations or interests. If you want to say something about them to that person PM them.
10) Keep in mind I said interests, this means you can post an artist whose work you find intrigues you, but doesn't inspire you.
- If you want to make these two separate sections you can, but you don't have to.
11) If you want people to comment on your inspirations and interests start a new thread and asks for people's opinions on your inspirations and interests.
- This thread is more to introduce each other to other artists.
12) If you need to edit or make a change to something in your post, make sure to post below the initial post what was edited in and when.
- It should look like this: "[/Edited mm/dd/yyyy] :"
13) Same rules on posting NSFW material, you must give fair warning.
14) If you want to post what position they worked on in the series, post it in parenthesis next to the series.
Well, now that I got the rules established, I guess I'll post mine as an example.
