I think it might be interesting to collect Mashima's inspiration for character designs and such which - to me - apparently comes more from his addiction to video games rather than Jump manga like One Piece, doesn't it?
I mean most stuff comes from his earlier work (as already assessed in an old thread) but comparing Kirijou Mitsuru from the Persona 3 video game to Elsa brings up some striking resemblance. (Persona 3 was released in July 2006, Fairy Tail started in August 2006)
Or are both of them just modelled based on some other prototype?
And his dragons - and Elsa's armors - look like they come right out of Monster Hunter video games. Which is probably the reason why he was chosen to make that Monster Hunter Orage manga. ^^
But is there actually more we probably don't get?
This thread is not to spoil Fairy Tail for others nor to bash neither authors nor works.
