>>90215382I apologize in advance for posting nsfw (even if censored). These artists are a primary inspiration and motivator for my own art.
1. William-Adolphe Bouguereau - for subject matter that he leaned into most of the time and his wonderful technique and modernist interpretations of classical subjects
he drew a lot of young girls and nice feet
2. Watanabe Akio - did character art for Monogatari anime and some VN's. Love his signature elements like bloomers and plastic, semi transparent bracelets
3. Kuroboshi Kouhaku - love his specific use of colour combinations and texturing. Been a fan since his early Kino no Tabi book covers
4. OmHikky - my favourite cunny artist for years
5. Dorontabi - personal hero. Love the subjects of his art, absolute honesty about his preferences and actual skill to back up his ballsy character. Love how malleable he can be with his style
