crazy how that is, lol - in my early days of digital art i worked on the same CRT for many years and rarely ever saw my art on any other monitor. i didn't realize until much later that the black levels on it were wrong and many areas i thought were finished had very visible paint splotches all over them.

Digital color is such a pain in the ass

I didn't dedicated a proper Pin-Up for Skye. now that's fixed and also adjusted her tone to a more natural one. the previous tone was a fuck up from my laptop's display and not addressing that, now that I have this Screen Tablet I get some better color display.

As long as we're talking about super old stuff in general, I'll post a few more links.
These are only -nearly- lost to time though?:

Maru production has been around for 20 years
They made tiny little flash animations but I didn't really bother to translate
I'm assuming they were an artist that dipped briefly into macromedia tools back then
And they still make stuff today but nothing like feature animations or anything.
They were interesting when the web was very tiny, emerging and people want to see what flash could do.
https://maruproduction.com/anim/1man.html

Nekogames made Cursor 10 in 2008
Their new layout while in english has kinda hobbled a bit; I cant find my favourites or both versions of the game, but there are other games worth playing still.
http://nekogames.jp/index.html

GameDesign.jp is one of the later sites I found after flash peaked and was mostly being used for porn ; none of these games are that. The Boxing game is quite good. The resolution on most of these are far too small, but if you bother to get around that or dont mind it, they range from Boxing, Baseball, Dice wars (!!!), and an 80s dungeon crawler RPG complete with 3d mazes.
https://www.gamedesign.jp/index_en.html

Pica-pic.com is a site I want to bring up but cannot; someone parked over the domain and is spreading malware through it now? But there is a youtube video of some the games working; most of these were TIGER or NINTENDO LCD games like game and watch donkey kong.

https://oladaniel.com/pica-pic (old site)

In light of picapic going under though, sometime in 2018--
MAME was able to emulate a lot of the LCD Tiger/Nintendo Electronic games that were handhelds in the 80s and 90s. You can probably find methods for emulating them with google

Ferryhalim.com made some nice games starting in 2000
Nearly everyone has played them and seeing the TV bumper for "flash games" on Tech Tv was a little surreal, but I dont know if the creator was ever sent a copy of it from TV.
His games werent working for a bit, but they are working now with Ruffle plugin support.
https://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

Nigoro.jp made some cool games like Rose and Camellia but they no longer seem to be working and are being sold on the switch now.
http://nigoro.jp/en/games/rose/

Pendulumeca was a line-swinging game simiular to an endless runner with spider-man swinging, but a little better than flash clones with that very thing; in this one you play as a hook-shooting robot ???
It was a .jp game that won in a flash competition
https://www.addictinggames.com/action/pendulumeca

SeventhSky is one of the better flash games from 2003-2004, I found it on penny-arcade.com, linksville, which then shutdown because the moderator looking after it got fussy that cool links werent all being posted in the site he was able to moderate links in.

https://nextframe.jp/flash/seventhsky_refine/seventhsky_refine.html

Johanthan Gay was interviewed by Leo laporte a long time ago when flash was getting its legs.
The video is fairly ancient but was uploaded 4 years ago; the date on teh recording is probably a lot earlier than that.

THE GO FUCK YOURSELF WEBPAGE offended a lot of really dumb people
But it's no longer around and has a few archive.ph pages dedicated to its memory.
There was also a story gallery on some really strange things going on in the webmaster's life or the IRC channel.

And I have to go to bed cuz im getting really dizzy hahahaha brb
More later, theres a bit more

Not exactly lost since it's still up but this website appears to be the source of the most liked image on Gelbooru and it's quite something:

Incredibly 2000s aesthetic pervading the whole thing. Remarkably seems to have been updated as recently as 2020 though.

Had a goofy little idea of a team of magical girls whose identities are concealed by them growing thematically appropriate moustaches when transforming. This one's based on the Chinese dragon, or "long" or sometimes "loong," and so her outfit is based on the dragon robe or longpao. Haven't given her a regular name yet but as a magical girl name I've been using Moustache Loongue, a pun I'm quite happy with.

Second one, based off of a catfish and the associated Japanese myth of a huge one that caused earthquakes. The stone says "kaname-ishi," or something like "spirit stone," which was the name of one particular stone that supposedly prevented earthquakes by holding the catfish down. Her pun name is Nyamazu, a mix of namazu (catfish) and nyan because I thought it would be funny if she decided to pretend she was cat-themed rather than catfish-themed specifically. This is also why I drew her with her fist in that position.

Walrus girl. Less to say about the design this time. The patterns are based somewhat on those associated with the area around the Mezen river in Russia, though those are quite specifically black and red and the walrus-based colour scheme didn't really permit me that. Originally she was going to have completely blonde hair and a hood over it but it felt somewhat incongruent with both the other girls and the general design philosophy of magical girls as a whole. The background element is oysters, in reference to the Lewis Carroll poem.

Bird fella who gives the girls their powers à la Luna from Sailor Moon. Lightly based on the Inca tern though fairly removed in several aspects.

Wanted to have a good image for the Toyhouse folder so I drew a group photo

All that foliage was quite a thing to get done. I have plans for bearded and bald magical girls in the future but idk when I'll get around to them.
