Also I’m very influenced by the kind of classic 90s anime/manga ‘look’ that I think is exemplified in Masamune Shirow’s work
His Dark Materials/Philip Pullman. Read them when I was a kid (and many times since) another huge influence on me, what’s not to love about a story about killing god! It might be harder to notice but Sparks is very HDM influenced
Masaaki Yuasa! I think Mind Game was his first project that I saw and also the first time I started to pay attention to who was directing/animating things
Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki but specifically I want to mention Princess Mononoke because it was the first anime movie I ever saw in theatres as a kid and it BLEW MY MIND, and Prince Ashitaka was the blueprint 😔 titties out sleeves on
THIS ONE IS A DEEP CUT, the artist Klar from DeviantArt. I don’t think she has an internet presence at all anymore but she did so much for me as a growing artist online she was my IDOL! Would sparks exist w/o her influence? Doubt it
