sooooo... *twirls her hair* how many asks should i send until kuwagami art. jk as well. the real question will be: does it happen often that someone else’s art inspires you? in fandom spaces specifically
well you see it’s like a loyalty card program, every 10 asks or so you get a complimentary kuwagami
just kidding you can just breathe in my direction and I’ll be tempted to draw them. kuwagami blast! (you've caught me on a... just okay art day lol)
(people still like kabedons, right?)
anyway for my actual answer:
in terms of direct inspiration, it doesn't really happen much? the last two times i did art directly based on someone else's work is probably this one from this fic, and also that time i drew art of someone else's judgment au. oh! and there's that moriohpsycho art based on this comic! (filthyguts' work is so very. hgngngghh. very good.)
nothing else really comes to mind, and when i think of the other things i've been into recently there hasn't been as much opportunity for that to happen...
flex and herds = strong fixation but lmao. almost nobody else made stuff about them. nobody is surprised
umineko = surprisingly i don't read much umineko fanfiction? and in terms of illustration, i certainly picked up imagery and indirect inspiration but nothing concrete enough for me to give an example... now that i think about it, i did once draw andromalius from redaction/sunny, but that was years ago, and also mostly because i was acquainted with the writer. ...i don't have that artwork on hand right now
death note = didn't really get involved with the fandom + i enjoyed my own ideas well enough! ...i can't recall if i drew long-hair-L art before or after seeing other artists do it.
and as for everything else the same kind of reasoning applies. didn't really get involved with the fandom or wasn't really compelled to make art in response to stuff i saw, or i just don't remember anymore.
buuuuuuut if we're opening this up to just... pulling ideas from other people? then yeah, all the time, though that kind of goes without saying when you have a creative hobby. ...it's probably going to be hard to come up with examples of this since it's more ambiguous.
there's uhhhhhh... kuwana listens to nickelback which was a @/four-white-trees invention, wasn't it? (EDIT: and @/overdevelopedglasses!) (not tagging in this post so he doesn't feel obligated to read my big ass ask responses 💀) as of writing this, it's not posted but i did end up making kuwagami art based on a nickelback song so. yknow. there's that LMAO
for sawashiro and arakawa, i do sometimes go reference @/todayisafridaynight 's art to help me with my own. ("how did he draw this part of the suit? oh, like that huh? hmm" <- this kind of thing)
and um. i'm not trying to pander to you (at least not this time), but genuinely it's one of the few examples that come to mind at this moment. but when i was writing my first kuwagami fic, i could feel the influence of the ever-changing on my brain... was turning over some of your ideas there...
you remember this? (you even pointed it out in your comment on my fic, and i should've said something then, but whatever i'm saying it now)
that was absolutely because of this
(obligatory poke at anybody else reading this post that you can read passthroughtime's fic here.)
so, um. yeah. not really sure what else to add to that. pretty self evident i think. (i'm always talking about the ever-changing but i don't think i can overstate the impression it left on me at the time)
anyhow there aren't really any other examples off the top of my head! these are all recent examples so they're not so difficult to recall, but there are probably others i've forgotten...

i hate how if your parents had a good marriage and if u want to emulate them that's like a "good thing" but if your parents have a bad marriage/relationship and u DON'T want to emulate that by not getting married, suddenly you just need to heal or to change or whatever. people making decisions based on personal experience isn't necessarily something that needs to be fixed. including when those decisions aren't in the realm of "be normal and like everyone else."

a change that i quite enjoyed from the netflix adaption is making suki actively conflicted about the isolation of kyoshi island; giving her a sense of curiosity and a desire to understand the world outside of her home. making her conflicted about staying neutral in a century-long conflict that has torn the world apart. so when foreigners arrive on their island, with different customs and ideals and a different understanding of the world, she’s immediately drawn to them and wants to know more. she adheres to her peoples’ customs, but she doesn’t revere them like she’s expected to either.
it ties really nicely into a part of her backstory from the comics. her best friend from childhood, mingxia, strongly believed that their island’s isolation would cause the citizens to suffer (especially during a year where crops failed and people faced starvation). she challenged the council’s policies and was refused, and so she decided to leave the island for good rather than stay complicit in their isolation.
i think it’s a really good way to foreshadow that the gaang actually inspired suki to leave kyoshi island and to help with the war effort in the earth kingdom. not only giving her a preexisting conflict and doubt within herself, that they were doing the right thing by staying isolated, but setting up that this is not the last time we will see her. i really liked it!

what makes tumblr so op and is the place i want to post things most often is the tags
it’s convenient to add additional information without making it a permanent part of the post, especially if it’s more niche in a generalized post and if you really need that original context you can just go and check the tags from both the op and other people.
also it’s like im whispering in your ear the additional information that either comes after i’ve typed out the post or isn’t relevant enough to include in the post itself
