Teal deer, mostly just official art I can't find!

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. So I like to make graphics, and I like the Tales series. But I’ve never played any of the mobile games and I got looking on this front so late that any imgur etc gallery links I could find were down. If anyone has a link to a site, wiki, tumblr, anything with good-quality Rays-style* skit faces, on a plain background or transparent, for any of the following characters, I’d love it. Even just one image for one character would be more than I have for any of them now!:

List of characters I'm looking for

- Atwight Eks
- Beryl Benito
- Dist the Rose/Reaper
- Ivar
- Kongwai Tao
- Mary Argent
- Pierre de Chaltier
- QQ Selezneva
- Raine Sage
- Regal Bryant
- Sheena Fujibayashi

*may also be Link or Asteria style, but I’m pretty sure most to none of these characters had them until Rays


2. Recs for your fave anime character songs that came out after ~2015 and aren’t from an idol franchise, Digimon, Sailor Moon, or Precure. It seems like they’re a lot rarer in the 2010s and onward outside of idol stuff + a yearly Precure album. Digimon occasionally puts out new ones (though Appmon was the most recent non-nostalgia-project set), as does the Sailor Moon reboot. What else is out there that just may not be on my radar?


3. My first virtual pet site back in the day was Powerpets, which at the time had very early-2000s animesque pet art, much of which has since been revamped and is no longer on the web afaict. If anyone has any of the following old pet art saved, I’d love it dearly for nostalgia’s sake b/c these were My Guys:
- Gray Fox
- Holland Lop
- Maine Coon
- Red Fox
- Samoyed
- Somali

I don't know if you've tried this, but it looks like The Wayback Machine grabbed a bunch of stuff from the original Power Pets site. I'm not familiar enough with it to find your faves, but you might? There's a toplevel search here: https://web.archive.org/web/20050501000000*/https://www.powerpets.com/

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, no amount of familiarity would help - everything except for a handful of educational and About This Site pages locks into a "not logged in" redirect loop that ends up back at the main page. Pre-2003 you can't even see that much logged out, and after 2007 or so the archiving falls off the map. Good security for a site with (according to one of the pages I can see) a userbase that was 75% under 18 at the time, but a real pain if you just want to see the pets!
