Description
Someone asked me for these in a comment, and rather than type it out a lot (since it took so long to compile) here's a list of some of my FAVORITE inspirations.I could name a hundred more, easily, but these are the few where pretty much with EVERY upload, I'm just floored.
On deviantart:
for her gorgeous lighting!
For her amazingly stylistic lineart and sense of color and form.
for his amazing lighting and composition as well as how prolific he is.
for some wonderful colors and how they utilize shape as design
for their beautiful children's book illustrations, and their ability to utilize simplified shapes in design. Also, their texture painting.
for his wonderful creature design
always for their colors <3
Their composition and design are just eye candy!
Her design and color work is astonishing!
Her animals are designed with so much love and character to them (and when I got to sit by her for a weekend, she was also a lovely lady)
for her character design and color
for their design and graphic line quality
Their character design and expression are wonderfully done
for their line quality and design work

I'd try and highlander their skills away, but I'm afraid of jail.

A couple of the people you listed I really liked already, but a few people not on your list (that I can think of right now, anyway) that I am influenced by are:
Maren Marmulla rennerei.tumblr.com/ for her paintings, environments, and studies - I just love her brush work
Ann Marcellino annmarcellino.tumblr.com/ for her fluid and simplified 'flat' style - Also her compositions
Hannah Christenson hannahchristenson.tumblr.com/ for her compositions and color palettes
James Fenner jmfenner91.tumblr.com/ for his fluid compositions and the mood he sets with his work
Christina Chua ceearrchua.tumblr.com/ for her style and the way she handles paint, digital and traditional
It's hard to think of this stuff off the top of my head. There are just way too many awesome artists out there. My list never stops growing.

Thanks for sharing! The first three I actually almost added to this list, but I tried to reduce it near the end, because otherwise I'd have like... 50 names per category x333

I understand. Really, a list like this should be near-endless with all the amazing artists out there, but, yeah, you have to draw the line somewhere unfortunately. XD

You realize that I'm not going to have to spend an hour looking through this artists, right? You've probably just added at least 20 new artists to my watch list!
