I've been meaning to make this journal for a while show-casing a few of the things that have inspired me, or that I have used as reference (I'm a terrible person! I know!;;;;)
Without further ado, I'm sorry!  This is an extremely image-heavy post!  None of these are mine. First are the pictures I have directly used for reference in a picture in some

Oooh! This is really amazing! ;; So cool to see your reference and recognize them-- I love the Oni-bued versions best!

And holy shit, I agree, your influences are bloody and disturbing, that belt.. prison was extreme! But still-- you fascinate me and it is nice to see what fascinates you. :'3

Your inspiration is inspiring me...!
It's great to see what's tumbling around your head when you draw. Thank you for posting this.

Verrrry interesting! Where did you get the last of the reference pictures ("End of Crazy Love")? I like it.

ahh sorry, I thought I replied to this! LJ is such a dick. heh
But ohh if you mean the last pic in general, it is a photograph taken by Lewis Hine of several newsies smoking

As for the last pic I /used/ as reference, the woman with the curls, that's by Takato Yamamoto and I'm sorry, I do not know the name of it....
