Sarah Leigh.

Sarah had always drawn and painted out of pleasure, and hoped to make a living out of her art. Her hopes had turned to reality in the year 2000.
Her dog Charlie was seen as a real 'Pub dog', loved by everyone and showed true character. She had decided to do a painting of him.She was hoping it would was £30 to £40, but she would have never expected it to sell for over £200. Since then dozens of orders for pet portaits came in.\

I find her work very inspiring. I love the detail she has put into them, how she makes them look so realistic and gives them character. Their personalities show through her art.

Toshihiro Kawamoto

Toshihiro designed the characters in the Anime series Wolf's Rain. This series greatly inspired my art. I liked the way he designed the wolves, how they look Anime, yet realistic. I found it very interesting how the wolves could disguise themselves as humans. This inspired me to create my own characters which were wolves that could transform into humans whenever they liked. The wolves goal in the series is to find paradise, where the wolves can live in peace. The wolves are not like ordinary wolves, they are seen as demons from hell, they are feared by humans and are close to extinction as they have been hunted throughout their time.
The series can be quite gorey, which makes the series more interesting as it gives the wolves more character.
