00:00The style of every artist in the modern day is the culmination of thousands of years of
00:05artists before them.
00:07Their styles and processes didn't develop in a vacuum.
00:11Instead, the artists that came before influenced and shaped every single piece you find on
00:16the internet today.
00:18And even before art was long enough for there to be artist predecessors to draw from, well,
00:25they took from nature.
00:27The following are the works that have shaped what my art looks like.
00:31Either it be the way they look or the content of their stories, you will see a piece of everything
00:36in my works.
00:38Steven Universe is a wonderful cartoon known for its messages and forgiveness and love.
00:46It is a beautiful show following a young boy with a family of mysterious beings known as
00:50gems.
00:51It unravels a war and slowly uncovers the mysteries of the gems who are raising Steven.
00:57But it isn't just the messages that are wonderful.
00:59There is one thing that anyone can praise the show for, and it is the backgrounds.
01:04To make backgrounds that are eye-catching every time is a goal of mine that I hope to someday
01:09achieve.
01:11Everything from the fantastical to the mid-ing leave a stunning view that you can just stare
01:14at for hours.
01:19My Hero Academia is a fun and inspiring story about heroism and helping the community.
01:25While the fandom seemingly missed the point, its themes about pushing yourself and bringing
01:30joy to dark days resonate with me as an artist.
01:34Art is something I do in order to bring joy to both myself and others.
01:38I create what I want to see, and it delights many others in the process.
01:42That is not mentioning the real-life aspect, however.
01:45My Hero Academia is one of the biggest series in the world, and it starts by one guy.
01:52One person came up with the idea and placed it to paper.
01:56It eventually became a huge thing that billions of people love and provide joy.
02:01There is hardly anything more inspiring to the fact that this can happen to any artist.
02:09Of course, I can't count out the likes of Vibzipop and Lavender Town.
02:13YouTube is filled to the brim with unique and creative talent to take inspiration from.
02:18From the humble beginner to college trained professionals, YouTube is a platform where
02:22anyone can share their creations for better or for worse.
02:26This fact alone is enough to be inspiring.
02:29Vibzipop in particular is an inspiration.
02:32She has two popular shows with roots in both Tumblr and YouTube.
02:36She nurtured and cherished her characters for years before they finally made it to screens
02:40both small and large, with Hazbin Hotel becoming an instant hit among the masses.
02:46She has started her own animation studio that works hard to help bring these wonderful characters
02:51to life.
02:53The Legend of Zelda is a fantastic video game series where each game brings something innovative
02:59to the series.
03:00RPGs today could look extremely different if it wasn't for the release of Ocarina of Time
03:05with a Z-targeting feature, camera system, and context-sensitive controls along with
03:10many others.
03:11To create something that would shape the future of an entire industry is an ambitious aspiration
03:17that may never be met, but it is still a wonderful goal to work towards.
03:22So, despite the odds, I will reach to make something as inspiring as this amazing series.
03:28What is an inspiration list without Sonic the Hedgehog or Pokemon?
03:37My artist's childhood was filled with creating characters and drawings based on the video game
03:41series.
03:42While I have fallen out of it since, the movies are proving themselves to be a cute series
03:46and the music never grows old.
03:49The style is easy and fun to draw and Sega itself encourages the creativity that their
03:54fans have.
03:55Plus, needed characters and bright colors are appealing to many people, particularly young
04:00artists.
04:01The series essentially provides a playground of creativity that artists can branch from
04:05as they grow older and improve their craft.
04:09If any story of mine seems familiar in tropes, themes, or appearances, you have these 5 things
04:16to thank.
04:17There are many things that can be done with their concepts that can only be explored by
04:22many people utilizing the ideas and making them into their own.
04:27Thank you for watching this video.
