I guess you can't always guess an artist's influences just by looking at their artwork.
The first US comics to get me hooked were Jim Lee and Scott Williams run on X-Men, and the second was Whilce on X-Factor. I've followed Whilce's work almost religiously since then.
I also flew to the Philippines and was mentored by Whilce for a few months at his home/studio. My first professional work was also through his and Brian Haberlin's company, Avalon.
Whilce was (and still is) a huuuuuge influence on my art. My work may have moved away from emulating the more obvious stylings of Whilce's work/training, but there isn't a day I draw that I don't use the skills Whilce imparted on me.
In any case, thanks for sharing the experience. I've had so many influences. Basically whoever was hot at the time which is a good way to get confused. McFarlane and Liefeld were my two big favs when I got in. Particularly Liefeld which is surprising considering how important anatomy and accuracy is to me now.
You're really fortunate to have gotten mentored by someone who actually works in the industry. I suppose you must have been a hard worker to have gotten such an in or did you build up to it? Your work is more like fine art than comic work. I'm impressed by your light and darkness most of all. You're way better than John Cassady. You remind me almost of Travis Charest at his height.
