I would think this would be in the poll thread rather than here

Back on topic, the first stick figure animation I saw was Xiao Xiao. Damn that's old school now, but back then it was the shit.

anyone remember joe zombie?

I voted for Hyun. He is one of the guys who inspired me to animate.
These are also the people who inspired me to animate.
Geo - for stretchy limbs and tentacles
Endo - for effects (A little)
Wraz - basic fight
Terkoiz - basic fight
Allan Becker - for effects

Hyun, Terkoiz, and many of the animations on Stickpage inspired me.

For me my main and primary inspirations come from Terkoiz (hes just the fucking best!!!), Miccool (the effects are nice, but the imagination behind it is what interests me), and Zinx3rd (his old school style made my dick rock hard)...

Of course there are others who kept me going like Kixx, Kidkei, Oxob, Nhazul, Stone, Geo, and many others keep me going...

Fuck yeah I do! Damn, I haven't watched that in a long time. I might need to pay the series a visit after all those years...

They got me started.

I remember watching Hyun's 'Drunken Stick' and the Pencilmation series way back in '08. Back then I was still on Pivot :P But yeah they were the ones that got me started.

I reckon SJ8 with his amazing style and graphics is one of the most inspirational for me at the moment :)

OH and who can forget the Xiao Xiao series. Man, looking back, the animation is pretty crap, but that was one of the first stick animations I saw and I thought that was just about the coolest thing in the world haha

Terkoiz. The moment I finished watching shock I was like: "I'ma do something like this one day!"

Lol Same Here terkoiz and hyun are combo like salt and pepper, cherry and pie, Male and Female. . . ^.^ and ow Op34 and Ragnarok game inspired me to start animating.

Terkoiz rules!!!!!
&U!*(@&*!(&@*!&*(

I was inspired by Rhan_Cole and Jayther.

none of those in the poll inspired me to animate
oscar johansson was the one that have inspired me to start animating
edit: also in my opinion hes animation from 2009 are even way better then terkoiz animations now days, and also more interesting to watch(no offense terkoiz)

My main inspirations come from jomm and Oxob.
