Here we are in Game Art 3. To begin this wonderful journey of the imagination, we were assigned to create an influence map. This cool internet meme that began its long career on DeviantArt is a fun way to map out everything that inspires our style, bias, and the subject matter of our artwork. I have so many influences that I increased the size, and yet, I still have many more that didn't make it in (like ee cummings, Henry Clarke, Satoshi Kon, among others), but this is a considerable amount of my influences.
