Thank you so much for hosting 😆 I genuinely have no idea what inspires me, I think I’m chasing a feeling, like being sunk in a deep dissociative daydream. Sort of feels like the way rain sounds. That may have been a very odd answer 😂, but I’m sure I can’t be the only one that feels this way.

A painting with a nostalgic feeling of two young men, in the rain at dusk, walking down a street with their backs to the viewer. Above them the clouds are purple and fringed with the orange light of a setting sun, and power lines cross above the street between the suburban house. The shorter young man is offering the other some chips. They are both soaking wet and don’t seem to care.
In the foggy darkness of a morning, long before the sun has risen, when the air is still dense with cold and the ground is damp with dew, a centaur canters though the long grass, kicking up clods, while his gaze remains serious and focus on where he is going. On his back a young squire holds on, looking attentive and steadfast. Rowan is usually such an annoying, goofy uncle, so Arley doesn’t take it lightly when he is as severe as this.
On a wet road in a foggy forest, a werewolf so dark it could be described as a silhouette with white eyes, looms over a young man laying on the tarmac in a frozen state of fight or flight. The young man is in a dark pink hoodie which contrasts with the otherwise cool, dark pallet of the scene.
A young squire, with a focused expression and magic stone legs that glow blue through spiralling engravings, is crossing a fast running stream in a brown grassy plain surrounded by mountains. His pants are rolled up past his knees and he is holding his shoes. He is followed by a centaur companion that is looking away from the viewer and into the distant landscape which is blanketed by an overcast sky and thin rain.

That's a fantastic answer actually! I think a specific mood can be a source of inspiration too. Especially since it might be easier to capture in image than in words. Your work is very narrative, like snapshots from a story
