[89] Question

[deadums]

Hey guys, bear with me here:

What/Who, if anything/anyone, do my drawings remind you of? It could be a particular artist, a style, an animation or even just an image found on tumblr - anything

Ahhh it's actually kinda hard to quantify your art but if I had to say I think it's kind of a cross between Old Timey Children's Illustration, Naruto and...something really shota-y? Possibly Eyeshield 21. Hope that helped??

[deadums]

Definitely helps! Thank you!

I see a big Akira resemblance.

[deadums]

aaa thank you! Akira is definitely an influence for me.

I don't really think "anime" would describe your work like...at all? Unless you're talking old skool retro stuff, but even then I think of your stuff as more manga/comics influenced? But still more old skool stuff :)

[deadums]

ha ha yeah, when I was talking to the guy it seemed easier to just reference 'anime' when I tried to discuss my drawings. Honestly, I didn't want to try and frame it with all the other odds and ends lol.

Thanks!! I really appreciate all this outside insight.

Your art reminds me of ROCK'N'DOLLESS, Professor Layton, AKIRA, Banana Fish, and.. Shintaro Kago for some reason.

[deadums]

Thank you!! I'm amused to see Shintaro Kago in there, but also extremely flattered ha ha.

Thirding the Akira resemblance, and a little bit of Hayashida Q.

[deadums]

Thank you for responding! It's kinda uncomfortable(?) to ask about this stuff, like I said in my post it sounds incredibly self-serving and egotistical, but I'm really interested in what people are gleaning from my drawings.

Akira, Hayashida Q are definitely things I'm influenced by~
