What are your main inspirations? I'm kinda curious

My art is inspired really heavily by Viria because I grew up with PJO lol, and also kinda Danica Sills.

I also do traditional Chinese Painting, which kinda influences the way I shade, even for digital art, weirdly

If i have a muse it's my sister, but sometimes it's what I expirience irl and then something just pops up in my head and I draw it, sometimes it me wanting to draw around a specific theme.
It will sound too egocentric, but my mind is my inspiration
It is like a blender:

1.- take a lil slice of a book from Agatha Christie
2.- one spoon of a bad experience about me trying to get a girl's love
3.- 500grs of Fatal Fury character design model
4.- 600mg of epilepsy meds (i'm epileptic for my whole life unfourtnally)
Mix it and... BOOM
(actually that's how i created Jesslia in a 1st phase)
I get inspired by pinterest and music but most of the time i just start drawing
I get inspired by whatever im interested in at the time e.g. right now im invested in genshin impact so im drawing a lot of fanart ^^
fanartists 👁👄👁 lilliangst on ig nowadays, I used to take inspo from klymenearts too which is why the whole textured brush thing has stuck. And ofc my beloved Pinterest boards
Music, fashion, dolls
Classical art and the 'old masters' like Michelangelo, Caravaggio etc.
Anime xD and also Yuumei, my top favorite artist. She's just amazing...
The old looney tunes and tom and jerry cartoons and Oscar Martin comics for characters and inking.
Club penguin and persona 5 don't ask me how
Visually, the cel shaded style used in various forms of animation is a big inspiration. I often try to give my work a "cinematic" look to it.
I guess one of my main influence is the Tara Duncan series, like I really loved the books and the universe it took place in, so most of my world Synaria was inspired from that
My other main inspiration are a bit of everything I find cool or interesting and the themes I like to adress in my storids
I feel like my current art style is inspired a bit by Lupin the Third, I also draw inspiration from my older sisters artwork as she's kind of the whole reason I got into art lol. Other than that it's a mix of inspo from various low key artists I admire 🥺💕 like cereovo/HJ7 on twitter (though he might have changed his user by now fhgnfh)
I think I was really inspired by Jojo and DMMd in terms of my style and what I like designing. I just really love the more crazy and unique outfits and hairstyles, just, aaaaaa-

In terms of people who inspired me, probably Jordan Persegati, and ofc music and my mood really get me going, and probably est_cos.
