was fran bow one of your inspirations? there are quite a lot of similarities - talking black cat guiding the protagonist, the dark fairytale vibe, the general theme of hospitals and child abuse, clueless yet helpful doctor characters, trauma warping mc's perception or reality and maybe some other ones i can't remember

handofdog responds:

No, I've never heard of that before. Now that I've looked it up, it says it was released around 2015, so that's why. If it's any media past 2010, I probably won't know much about.

My inspirations come from Fleischer Studios, the original fairytales, disney movies and the Bible. The darker visuals, from original Silent Hill trilogy, Roman Dirge's "Lenore" comic was big inspiration for art style (At-tan's simplified eye was homage to that). These inspire just for the visual aesthetics in it.

I like mix of cute + creepy things, but I try to stay away from actual scary things or abusive stories with women or little girl characters in them because it's too much for me. That sounds ironic, considering that's what At-tan is about. But drawing something myself feels cathartic, whereas other media feels exploitive or distresses me for not handling dark topics right. I don't judge Fran Bow since I never played it, though. I'm only saying I typically avoid that kind of media, save for some exceptions.
