Check out this awesome conversation I had with Creature and Concept Artist Andrew Baker.
I love what he says about immersing yourself in the source and being inspired by work that's come before you:
If you're inspired by something, "just go back to that source and immerse yourself in it, because inspiration is abundant and you will never be lost for work...
"I don't think it's stealing. I just like the idea that it's resting on the shoulders of giants. And I think anything good has a lineage and has a history."
What a beautiful thought. :-)
