Nhazul, Hyun and Endo mostly.

well, post didn't go through or something....

anyways was inspired to actually start animation because of this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tBM2ZfncoU
after that, these people inspired me to animate sticks:
terkoiz, hyuun, yun, oxob3000, jomm, psyder, nhazul, tentionmaru, geo, kixx (some others but can't remember)
Pretty long list because it takes a lot to motivate me I guess -_-
