Anyone happen to have any more of these? There were dozens of cute godzilla and gamera girl art online by a (most likely) japanese artist and they just seemed to be atomized into another reality.
Ill post all I have found, oldest is probably around 2003, and the last time i think it was confirmed online is 2013

Is the site not on the internet archive?
>>
>>51133093
Ive been combing though but I cannot find it. It has to be SOMEWHERE, theres no way this artist did dozens or these and it has never been posted anywhere. I remember it used to be visible on the first page of google image search back in the day

>>51133108
I don't remember the site either but it's probably on deviantart too, given the time period and drawing style. Best I can offer you is this guy https://www.pixiv.net/users/119063

>>51133336
it predates DA I think, but its weird there hasnt been a sinlge gigaautist who posted anything about them besides a single blog i found that just credits "google images" with the source

Monster girls and gijinka in general aren't special enough for some autist to collect them really. The idea that there were cute godzillas was novel at one time but hardly unique. I don't remember the site in question, if it was the same, as having only one artist nor dozen of pics but there were a number of them there. Unfortunately the time to save it has probably long since passed and I don't remember what it was part of except that it was a godzilla fan site in general

Here, I found the site I was thinking of: https://web.archive.org/web/20060117193224/http://www.shrineofgamera.com/gamera.html
Page with the fanart: https://web.archive.org/web/20050801075332fw_/http://www.shrineofgamera.com/fan_stuff.html

Original jap site: https://web.archive.org/web/20011030191739/http://www.ngy1.1st.ne.jp/~gouseki/index.htm
The fanart page in particular: https://web.archive.org/web/20020803044557/http://www.geocities.co.jp/Hollywood-Stage/8786/index.html
The main site closed in 2002, but the geocities art site would have been up until 2019

This one guy who drew phenomenal Touhou Grotesque Land Story art suddenly deleted his account recently and I'm kicking myself for not saving every last drawing. His stuff was great.
Of course Pixiv doesn't work with the wayback machine, just my luck.

Late 1990s-early 2000s Japanese internet was magical, I was obsessed with Digimon at the time and spent nights collecting their fanart, probably still have lots of it saved somewhere.

I have begun archiving as much as a can, I think this deserves to not dissapear. It turns out what I thought was one artist was like a collective of like 10 lel
