Description

so so so... I filled that meme too^^

and as you can see, I'm movie nerd :giggle:
I blame for it my dear, sweet, smart and gorgeous step-sister Kate :caring: she's the one who brought me to the cinema in 1993 for "Jurassic Park" and next year for "Stargate".. I was 7 at the time and you just can't imagine how much influence it had on my imagination?!.. the Stargate itself, costumes, those Anubis-guys.. THE MUSIC!! Raa portrayed by Jaye Dawidson! OMG!
her boyfriend, and now her husband (yay!^^) introduced me with Alien series and other sf movies.. so yeah, I was a little kiddo and before I turned 12 I saw all alien movies, Predator, Terminator and even "2001: A space odyssey" - and you know what? it didn't bored me.. hail Master Kubrick

I love sf movies till day.. hell, I love all kind of movies :D don't believe? look at this list: [link]

in the end of 2000 my beloved friend Ruda called me in the middle of night and asked me:
"- Diana, do you know what rpg is?"
"- Nope"
...and she explained it to me and next day I was introduced to "Werewolf: The Apocalypse" :D once again I was blown away by myths and stories and of course great art that was in the books..

same friend, few months earlier showed me polish magazine "Kawaii", and on that one special issue there were Saint Seiya on the cover.. I knew them from tv series but thanks to that magazine my knowledge about anime/manga and Japan culture significantly increased ;) I miss that magazine ;___;

what else you can find in my influence map?
tee hee.. gorgeous Geena Davis ;) in blonde! :D she and other sexy badass blondes also had major influence on my style.. heh, my main character Yacoot has white hair and she's badass.. after years I know that I'm like a mirror and echoes of past pictures I've seen have their reflection in my drawings..

so I started from manga-ish style, then I had to do lots of hyper-realism stuff, and then I was infected by American comics.. now, I knew Batman, Spiderman, X-Men and other fellas but I really love lines in Fathom - I'll never be as good as those guys but I'll die trying ;>

what else:
good book, and there's no better book than A.C. Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles" - which I've read million times since I was 5 - yeah.. probably I'm that f*up because since I was little I'm familiar with horror stuff..
and thank you Ann Rice for sexy vampires and Neil Jordan for awesome movie :D

next thing: music, especially movie soundtracks - on my influence map I put covers from "Gladiator" and "Braveheart".. do I have to explain? ;)

+ photo of Siberian tiger - cos I LOVE cats
+ photo of desert by Frantisek Staud - cos it's freakin surreal

I was so obsessed by Predator movies because I found it on a TV show. Then, I watched the rest of Alien vs Predator (Dammit, it was almost the end) and now I'm a Yautjan fangirl. LOL.
Cool story and map
