I love weird quirky out of place and downright creepy stuff... twisted is pretty good too. A friend of mine told me i definately have a "dark feel" to my work. Probably because i get alot of inspirations from Tim Burton - the man is a genius. What inspires youuu??
Take a look at some of my work, can you sense anything dark in it? haha
My drive comes from Reiq and artgerm...
Newgrounds wise i really love bizarrojoe's stuff , cypress did some cool stuff but has taken it all down now :c, arvalis is cool as well, though nothing as of late has been posted, Keepwalking's art is really great and im sure i used it as a background once or twice... im sure there is more, but that's of the top of my head
Ah the legendary Burton , deffinetly an inspiration for me aswell. Not a surprise ofcourse , who draws creepy and hasnt basked at Burton's glory at some point , thinking "i need to draw like that". Your work is splendid ! I dont see "Tim Burton" in it , mainly because it lacks the comical element but this is not a bad thing , in fact its great. Originallity over anything , copycats can eat sh*t.
About my other inspirations , well , there are too many and the list keeps growing but my most usual sources are:
-My wife. She cant paint but she is the colour of my life.
-Adrian Smith because Adrian Smith....
-Ibrahem Swaid because , well , Ibrahem Swaid....
-The awesome folks of Creature Box
-Samwise Didier , because...Just...damn...
-Brian Froud and John Bauer , legends simply
-Ryan Hall , incredible fella
-Jouste the "Drawbarian" , you know him !
-Nicolás R. Giacondino. Needs a book to describe his awesomness.
From the above Giacondino , Swaid and Smith are three of the main reasons that i decided "i wanna do this shit for life!"
Other than that , as i said i get inspired by everything that interests me. Religion , Music , Movies , anything that can trigger my imagination is to be noted as inspiration.
Too many to count. Here's a handful.

ohmygosh Kenneth Rocafort is an absolute handsdown favourite for me in that list! his work is amazing! I went through it for quite a while and its as if this person bleeds art, its everywhere, not just the page he's taken a picture of.
Pen and inkwork gahhh.... huge respect there.
ohmygosh Kenneth Rocafort is a an absolute handsdown winner for me in that list there! His work is amazing! i went down quite a while and every single page was stranger and much more wonderful than the next ... mythical creatures and monsters all sorts! I loved it all!
I love how the ink looks like it bleeds out of the pen, beautiful.
