Which manga would you say most inspired your style?

[Antitime]

I wanted to make a simple comparison but I ended up with a pretty funny/sad chart of all the instances my style looks like another manga or anime's art, because it purposefully style shifts with the moods of the characters.

Spoiler! :

Of course I forgot Satoshi Kon and junji Ito, who I pretty much always rip off to some degree.

[Wulfmune]

I don't think my stuff looks like Ranma 1/2 anymore, but it used to when I started drawing influenced by manga 20 years ago. Dang I am that old.

[vdtitian]

Huummm..... i still can trace CLAMP's style in my drawing. I used to read them alot, beside other mangas.
Nowadays, i read almost all kinds of comics / mangas in almost all genres, but if i have to make a top list, they will be : Count Cain Godchild, Black Butler and Naruto.

[ChrisH]

Man I'd have to say a cross between Naruto and Dragonball Z.
Storywise, most likely Naruto.

[momoismyname]

i love victorian style~if you read le chevalier d'eon manga you would love it~it was really good art even like a rough sketch~

[motherfuckinglucifer]

Undoubtedly Junji Ito! But I also think I was inspired by Masashi Kishimoto, Tite Kubo and Takeshi Obata.

An example of Junji Ito's art (warning, a little bloody!):

It's hard to say sints my style is drawing chibi characters but i don't think ive read iny manga that has that style.

[SpiralPen]

I would be lying if I didn't say Naruto was a huge inspiration for me to start trying to emulate anime and manga. In fact, it may have been the sole reason I ever attempted it in the first place.
Something about the "cleanness" and use of simple blacks and whites in Kishimoto's art was very appealing to me and I really felt like I could emulate it!

However, on the more complex end, I would say Hiro Mashima's under-appreciated gem, Rave Master (or Groove Adventure Rave) was a HUGE inspiration to me.

The way he illustrates action, his penchant for bizarre Toriyama-esque chapter art featuring crazy outfits and locales, the bizarre faces and creatures, THE SWORDS, and how could one forget DEM CURVES??

Spoiler! :

Speaking of Toriyama, his character style never really rubbed off on me... at least, not to my knowledge... but something about his LANDSCAPES! His settings just seem so ALIVE and vivid and imaginative! I just want to explore every single one!

Well...uh... I guess I'm in a minority there because I can't find an example on Google images to save my life.

I'd say Tite Kubo (Bleach), Yoshihiro Togashi (YuYu Hakusho), and Akira Amano (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) all helped filter in as well.

But a REALLY big manga influence has GOT to be Rumiko Takahashi. I saved her for last because she might be my biggest manga inspiration of all time. There's just something soft and magical about her art, even the stuff she's not good at drawing. Her writing style, humor, and portrayal/emphasis on romance definitely inspired me as well.

One Piece of course, eh.

And some Toriyama in general.

In terms of design it's more Digimon and videogames.

[HanaYume]

Hmm... Probably Scrapped Princess. First tankoban I ever bought. ALthough, my style has probably been influenced more by everything I see and friend's art styles.

[Jadiekins]

Battle Angel Alita, no doubt. I don't know if he counts, but Adam Warren's stuff from the late nineties/early 2000's was a major contributor.

[Carnie-Art]

I honestly try not to be a copycat when it comes to finding my own personal style, but finding my own personal style in itself is a hard thing to do! So naturally, I had to base my style off of something. When I was working on character designs for Legends of Merith, a friend came up and said he liked my "pre-DBZ" Akira Toriyama style to my character Darrian Mightblade. I eventually got more feedback from others who thought my style reminds them of old Saturday Morning cartoons. So who or what inspired my style? I'll have to say my childhood!

[LoveDrunkPunky]

It's intriguing to see what inspires everyone! I haven't yet uploaded my comic, but I'm itching to do so. My personal art/comic is inspired by the anime, Gankutsuou:

Spoiler! :

and a Korean webcomic called, Pink Lady:

Spoiler! :

I love using textures and patterns in my art to creative a rich visual tapestry. It's painstaking work though, and I seem to take forever to finish anything ;__; Also, my drawing style is more like that of Pink Lady and other korean webcomics where the drawings are closer to reality than traditional manga yet they still have that cartoon quality to it.

[InsaneArtisticNerd]

I'm a bit influenced by Yusuke Murata's style.

[gurlrocker20]

When I first started my comic, I really didn't have much style at all -_-...I still feel that my style is it's own thing, but I do have certain elements from three different artists in my work. When I color, especially lately, I tend to have a style like Miki Aihara's Hot Gimmick. The artists that have inspired me the most are Ai Yazawa and Kyousuke Motomi. For Ai Yazawa, I love the art in Paradise Kiss. Whenever I read it, I'm so like, "I WANNA DRAW LIKE THIS!" When it comes to Kyousuke Motomi, really like the art in Dengeki Daisy, and there have been moments the style from that comic has affected my drawing.

This is one of my characters where the coloring is a lot like the Hot Gimmick coloring style

Spoiler! :

And here, a little Dengeki Daisy crept in:
