Well, I am actually a fan of Salad Fingers and those kind of darker animations, so it probably had a subconscious effect on the themes of my work. Now that I think of it, all of my themes tend to be dark and minimalistic. I'm a huge fan of films that can pull off the grungy feel. Are you into those? If you ever get the chance, watch: 11:14, 10 Cloverfield Lane or Uncle John. These films tell strong stories that aren't necessarily as sinister as they are bleak.
Love that content. Keep an eye out for another film I created in full that I will be posting soon!
