What inspires you?

Posted by nuclear-smash - August 17th, 2021


Lately I've been animating lots again, every day at my screen tablet, drawing frames and listening to banger music, and just had a small thought.

Everyone has their inspiration to create, right? Be it for art, animation, music etc., so I wanted to know what inspires others to create, what inspires you? If you create, that is!


Just so it won't be whoever comments alone, I'll start:

My inspiration comes from indie, small animators who make their cartoons for fun. The reason why I'm on Newgrounds in the first place is because that's where a lot of those cool creative minds originate from! A lot of the times I'd even catch myself rewatching old toons I saw as a kid online here just to get that sweet dopamine to animate more.

A smaller, weirder inspiration also comes to me from listening to some Christmas music (mostly jazz covers nowadays) no matter what season it is, solely because I liked a lot of Christmas special animations as a kid lmao

My fire is also fueled by the other creators here on Newgrounds. My music inspirations are usually a mixture of NG artists, Soundcloud artists, songs recommended to me by friends, and youtube music mixes. When I make games, I'm either inspired by a game I played previously or, if I don't really have a game idea, I'll seek inspiration from the free game assets available online :D

Also wtf your art is incredible hello

Checked your profile myself, your Eggtopia game is *chefs kiss*, definitely checking out more of your stuff, man!

I do also agree with you that indie artists and animators really spark a fire in me to create content of my own, but also high-energy rock, hip-hop, and video game ost music that really inspires me. Another inspiration to me is comic-style art, with some sick saturated colors and badass graphic design.

the video games i play and the music i listen to are my primary inspirations. sometimes it's cool artists (though most of the time they end up hating my guts somehow), sometimes it's other stuff, but mostly just video games and music.

If I’m having a good day (which is pretty rare) then the inspiration to draw comes to me.

My favorite artist, Anjohink!

there's a mixture of people who want to see me keep going and people who want nothing more for me to stop, so it's half love and half spite that keeps me going

who are these people who want you to stop, I just wanna talk to them.... (holds a belt)

Music, women, D&D and reigious texts.

It's funny, I animate because I like to do so, and I find inspiration from indie games such as Cave Story or old flash cartoons. I also find inspiration to draw in the music I am listening too, movies ost, games ost or weird mixes.

Also, I just found out you were the one who animated THAT Fanboy and Chum Chum video.

haha yea, I'm the fanboy and chumchum fan! (unironically used to love it as a kid despite not getting a single movie reference)

The Spirit, and life itself. I look at it like a force that is always with you, and shows you to way of life, and guides you. My music is based on this spirituality that artists have, forming a deep connection with their art.

And also, art itself has a connection to the Spirit. We get inspired from life, that inspiriation comes into matter, and that takes us back to life itself.í

Reflections of my past,the pleasure of the present, and the unsure mist of the future is all present in my music.

i like to create histories, sometimes some musics give me ideas, sometimes i have crazy dreams, sometimes i see interesting content, and i like to share them when i can

OC artists, mostly on Instagram, are my inspiration (makes sense, OC art is all I do nowadays). I also used to be inspired by TV and video games

My music is inspired by tons of different bands and VGM musicians, and local musicians here on Newgrounds, my art is inspired by the simplicity of Keita Takahashi's work.

But man, if anything fuels my fire to work, it's all the peeps here on Newgrounds for sure. <3
