My influences are not very obvious in my DA gallery because most of my work are sketches, which I haven't scanned.

Manga artists that currently influence me:
-Tite Kubo
-Shirow Miwa
-Huke (not a mangaka but...)

Semi-influence: Aya Shouto, Ichinose Kaoru, Motomi Kyousuke (they are shojo artists)

It's ironic how shonen artists are really my inspiration when my gallery is full of shojo drawings

I am inspired by so many things it's absurd. But eastern things specifically, not so much. (That is, outside of traditional stuff, like woodblock printing.)
Akira Toriyama comes to mind, he has really distinct work with a lot of detail. Not really something I see myself pursuing, but cool all the same. Hmm. I guess I draw a lot of inspirational from Hiroyuki Asada, who has an incredible sense of color and emotion. (He can do fabric detail like nobodies business, too.)

(Allison Theus is one of my favorite artists, and I wish she got more recognition.)

Right now, I'm heavily influenced by the illustrator of Yozakura Quartet and DRRR!!, Suzuhito Yasuda, because I simply ~~like~~love his style. I know he also does the character designs for the game series Devil Survivor, _{but the fights are just ridiculous; I gave up on them.}
But I have been influenced earlier in my years by Kishimoto and Kubo because they were both shounen with sharp lines and little detail regarding wrinkles and shading, and Takeshi who draws close to realistically, but enough to distinct it as manga-style. There is also Tiger and Bunny, a really interesting manga/anime with a western feel. It's second to Takeshi's drawing style in regards to realism and I use it as reference when I want to draw mechas or buildings or CG effects.
And these are just the Japanese ones. I've also taken into my style some Korean mangas, or manhwas, such as Witch Hunter (which I am proud to be the owner of the first two volumes of the book that were actually released in my country

). The artist makes a lot of cool clothing designs with amusing expressions made possible in a world of cool. I tend to copy his chibi styles when I am doodling, because they are that cute and funny.
Thanks to all of these, I've become completely adept at drawing males with a sense of realism in my general drawing forms.

I'm a huge fan of Death Note and I like how most of the characters have realistic touches in their faces and bodies. I try to inquire that.

~thekingisbacktokill Jul 15, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

me too. to me obata takeshi has one the best styles in manga i've seen.

~Almost-Albino Jul 15, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

~thekingisbacktokill Jul 15, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I have a few primary influences, and a score of lesser ones:

Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, character designer for the original Mobile Suite Gundam and Zeta Gundam anime, who also worked on manga series of his own creation such as Venus Wars. He has a fairly fluid, quasi-realistic style that incorporates just enough of the tropes in Japanese cartooning to make it recognizle as such.

Masashi Kishimoto of Naruto fame is a current favorite of mine. He uses many of the visual tricks that seem to have become popular in Japanese comics (the O.O face, and such).

Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of Akira and other series. Like Yasuhiko, he had a quasi-realistic style that incorporate contemporary visual tropes, but with much more detail and a finer line. He also drew his Japanese characters to be more recognizeably Japanese, unlike most peers who were following the template set by Leiji Matsumoto (who drew blonde-haired, blue-eyed Yuki Mori types).

Secondary influences have ranged from animation designers like Haruhiko Mikimoto and Hiroyuki Kitazume (of the Macross and Robotech Masters/Southern Cross anime incorporated into Robotech) and mangaka like Kenichi Sonoda (Bubblegum Crisis and Gunsmith Cats), Masamune Shirow (Appleseed and Ghost In The Shell), and Tite Kubo (Bleach). All of these influences have complemented by original influences from American superhero comics.
