That is actually an excellent question!

I really owe a lot of to video games. Stuff like the Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Metroid and Castlevania series I all really enjoyed from a young age and they all helped to lay the foundations for my love of creating characters and worlds and whatnot.
And I most definitely have to say that Dark Souls, in it's entirety, plays no small part in inspiring my creative endeavours in recent years. I hold nothing but love for that game as a whole and nothing could ever change that.

Also have a great fondness for the works of Salvador Dali, Edgar Degas, Van Gogh, H. R. Giger and Yoji Shinkawa. Whom which, I realise as I'm writing this, I should probably allow to influence my artwork more often.

"So, I have 2 questions for ya. 1. What are your fetishes? 2. Football or baseball?"
Well that's not an incredibly inappropriate or invasive thing to ask a complete stranger, let alone by private message.

I can't honestly say I really have a fetish for anything. Poooooooossibly Justin Vernons's voice.

And basketball over most football.
