What inspires you?

[BGH122]

Rage. I get angry at the world and it motivates me to do things. That and a drive to find things out.

 

[SimuLord]

I don't know where my inspiration comes from and I don't think too hard on it for fear that the inspiration will go away---it's like Schrodinger's Muse.

 

[Marter]

Me.

That's about it...

My inspirations come from myself, somehow.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Also, boobs.

I usually find inspiration from reading. Doesn't really matter what subject or even what language it's in. In fact, one of my latest inspirations was a Spanish short story. El arbol de oro. Can't find a good English translation, but I can provide the cheap google translation and the original story if you know a fair bit of Spanish.

Almost everything culturally inspires me. You have to look at the small details and interpret basic things wildly. You have to look at a sculpture and see different cities within, perhaps off the reflection. You have to read a book and wonder about why people perform certain deeds.

You have successfully won the internet today. By God I'm proud of these men.

Landscapes and Character designs from all over usually inspire me. DeviantArt, CGHub, CGSociety, the Flight Comics Artist blog webring, the Brothers Brick, it's all good.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Actually, Mr. Rogers is my inspiration. Great man.

Music and Anime... I'd say is what I'm inspired by...

Mostly music though... Most of my ideas have spawned from it...

 

[Beat14]

Passionate people and music, they go together quite well.

Passionate people because they are so driven and know what they want to do, or at least appear it. Especially if you can relate with them.

Music because it reminds me what I like and how things are really not that bad, and how I should get up and do something.

but I know many people get put on probation for one word answers (Stupidly), and I WANT MY BADGES! So I'm adding on this:


Doo dee daa! IT'S THE AWESOME COOKIE.

(Yes, I know it doesn't work like that)

Not meaning to derail the thread or start an argument, but probation for one word answers isn't stupid. Forums are designed for discussion, for people to interact. Quoting someone and saying "this" or whatever isn't interacting, it's agreeing with what was said before. Sure, you can agree, but you just need to add why you agree.

And adding something pointless just so it's more than one word is just that: pointless. It doesn't add to the interaction or discussion in any way.

If you feel that way, I'll edit it.

Sorry to annoy you.
(Does this count as pointless? I get confused.
I may as well add some more topic-flavour:
The reward of being better than everyone else inspires me.
Call that selfish, but I do love being awesome.)

I have no motivation to do anything 99% of the time.
