Tio Cao - Influence Map

Well, why not

Base/original here: [link]

And, here we go:

1. Tiny Toons. I discovered that I can draw thanks to this and an advice of an old neighbor.

2. Animaniacs: One of my greatest inspirations of all the times, even now.

3. Saint Seiya: one of the 3 main bases of my style, and also the inspiration for creating my first story. Nowadays I can't stand it, but I used to be a hardcore fan.

4. Sailor Moon: Second of my 3 main bases, I've in love with this series from the first sight. Also a big influence in the way my characters interact.

5. American Rabbit: Saw it once when I was a really young kid, this kinda influenced every following heroic character I've created till now.

6. Dragon Ball: I think this is pretty common. A big inspiration not in style, but in character design, specially for monsters and mutants and whatever is not human.

7. Ranma ½: Thanks to Rumiko Sensei I was able to make more elabotated and neat faces.

8. Héroes Del Silencio: Gracias a su musica mis historias ha tomado muchos giros, se han desarrollado personajes y mi personalidad también. Esta es una de las influencias más grandes en mi tanto artísticamente como personalmente.

9. Super Street Fighter II: The emotion provoked by these fights really inspires me. Part of my fight scenes is influenced by this.

10. Samurai Shodown 2, 4: Same as in Street Fighters, but a bit more advanced. This also inspired me to create certain characters and stories.

11. Tokimeki Memorial: Thanks Konami. Thanks to you I could made female characters that actually looks good AND feminine. Bunch of good references.

12 Slayers: Third of my 3 main bases. My favorite anime of all the times, one of the biggest inspirations and a roll model to me.

13. Ella Baila Sola: Igual que con héroes del silencio, pero de una forma más amable. Podríamos decir que estas dos mujeres me enseñaron a ser mejor persona y a querer como se debe.

14 Chrono Trigger: Huge influence, as much as Slayers. No much to add, for me this is the best videogame ever, and I owe this A LOT.

15 Magic Knights Rayeath/Clamp: Somewhat changed a bit my proportions, physically and facially. Too light to be noticed, but there it is.

16. ~Jeffery-kun: One of my best friends, we've been drawing and working together for almost 10 years now. I certainly have received influence from him from his critics, advices and some teachings. My current inking techniques are somewhat taught by him.

17. Divi-Dead (C'S Ware): This game certainly influenced a lot on me. Mainly, the backgrounds. Before Divi-Dead I couldn't do a BG to save my ass. Now I can. Also, thanks to them my necks now are normal and not those chunk of necks I used to do.

18. To heart: This kinda softened a bit my characters, making the ones that are supposed to be cute, more cute. A big influence in faces and facial proportions.

19. Kanon (2002): Not that much of influence in drawing style, but in stories. Not that much either, but still an influence.

20. PRINCESS MAKER!!!: This... this... this... ah... I can't live without this. Really a great inspiration, as much as in drawings as in character designs, also the only think I allow myself to do fanart.
