A mental exercise

This is a Artistic Influence meme from Deviantart. The way it works is that you use images to convey the artist/films/books/etc that have influenced your art style. So I thought this would be a good way to figure out what has influenced my horror tastes and ultimately my writing and visual style for the graphic novel.

This was similar to the "mood boards" we made in my animation course to help us figure out what kind of style we are pursuing. It was an interesting mental exercise to help figure out where you get your ideas/inspirations from. If you wish to try it, you can find the PSD template here: http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/art/Influence-Map-Template-174550753
