done for character design per assignment. I'll be nice and explain how these affect me.
Tetsuya Nomura - more of an under the hood subtle thing, my costume designs carry a ton of his influence
Tim Burton - more readily apparrent, designs, themes, kookiness
CreatureBox (the Ratchet & Clank boys) - unhinged creativity with creatures and weapons, more of an aspirational influence
Don Bluth - sense of motion and expressions, moreso with his super creepy monsters and villains. (I almost put his version of Eve up here for kicks/giggles)
Spirou - kind of a representing the european comics front, but these guys (especially the tome & janry run) had wonderful sense of motion through design. Really shows in my loose doodles
Disney - of course they're up there. they influence everyone. But Robin Hood, 101 Dalmations, Sword in the Stone, and Jungle Book have considerably more influence over my art than anything else. Milt Kahl's animations are stuff I uber look up to.
Joe Mad (by extension Blizzard) - big things. I always have my characters with exaggerations ... be it proportions, clothing, props, whatever. Plus he seems to pull of EPIC very well
Bruce Timm (via Batman TAS) - heavy reliance on shapes, and a tendency to give my girl characters a 12 inch waist. -shrug- Very very solid designs
Phillip Jackson - someone pointed this out to me, but just similar sense of humor and themes. Also great expressions and one-off gags.
Calvin and Hobbes - Of course Bill Watterson influenced me. He influenced everyone. Most of my backgrounds carry the same cartoonish arcs to the sets.
Frank Cho - willingness to blatantly mix styles, mainly. Also most of my expressions on more realistic humans come from him.
Capcom - the older titles (when Capcom had a reliable design theme) are super apparent in my drawings. The faces and heavy reliance on capcom hair are some the key points.
Chuck Jones - more than the other looney tunes creators, this guy's expressions and sense of comedy carry over
Norman Rockwell - a more subtle thing, this really exhibits itself when I'm drawing stuff for fun. He had a great way of telling the subtle humor and story found in the ordinary.
Mike Mignola - if I draw animals, Mike takes over. Also my decisions for level of detail mainly come from his impressionistic approach.
There ya go.

that's why it's my influence chart.
you should make your own. ;p and ask other people what your art reminds them of

Did you mean to put Bill Waterson for the Calvin and Hobbes one? I mean for all the others you listed them by creator rather than creation.
no, I mean calvin and Hobbes directly. he did do a couple other discrete things after, but it really was these two rascals that shaped me rather than him consistently (which is why the creators were usually listed otherwise). Spirou is the same boat
