where does the inspiration for your creations come from?
EDIT: EXCAMPLES - "real creatures" or "movies"

Also, I get inspiration from all sorts of stuff. I love Star Trek to death and I mostly get some inspiration from The Next Generation series. Also, alot of video games give me some inspiration. Have you ever played Starcraft? Great game, and it's the music of the Zerg and Protoss that gives me the most inspiration. Also my favorite artists H.R. Giger and Wayne Barlowe give me inspiration from their work.

i relax lay on the couch listening to Eminem until something pops into my head

Depends on whats going on.

I'll normally watch for the next craze, and create something for it. { iv been in the mammoth turret craze, Puzzle craze, and baby animal craze}

My sick and twisted music just runs through my head, it's crazy, emo, and basically has everything to do with sickness, and that's how I get my stuff.

sometimes I get outside influence on what i make (movies, nature, games, sports ect.) and I get what i make form my head...often its a combination of the two

yeah, my friend has starcraft, pretty good game. i am surprised i dident make anything based of it yet

Indeed. However, I meant that the music is what inspires me. Have you heard the protoss music? I might like the Zerg more than the Protoss but their music is amazing. It has inspired me to make more of my surreal alien beings.

Spontaneity.

...

Or cuteness.

... Anything can inspire me. Music, stories, toys, art.. Really. Just a matter of getting around to making things rather than doodling them.

I think. Often times I may get inspiration from mythic creatures or even people.

i liek using the parts themselves
i choose a part, then place it just so, then choose parts that look similar or enhance it and place them just so
then i pick three colors that look good with each other and the parts

lot's of places. Lately I've been drawing heavily from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for inspiration.
