Like many artistic types, there are certain things that help get the creative juices flowing. One such thing for me is listening to music. Most often I'll listen to instrumental music when I'm drawing as words can be distracting. At the time of this writing, I'm listening to the Armageddon score (from the 1998 Michael Bay film of the same name). I always thought the film was a masterpiece and a lot of that is helped by the music from Trevor Rabin (and I believe Harry Gregson-Williams as well). I'm not entirely sure why music helps stimulate creativity, but it always has for me. When writing stories, I use music to help set a mood. When drawing, it just serves as fuel to push me along. Here are some soundtracks from films, television, and video games that I often listen to:
- Armageddon
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon
- Transformers (2007 film)
- X-Men
- Robin Hood (Russell Crowe film)
- Batman (1987)
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Chrono Trigger
- Donkey Kong Country
- Perfect Dark
