I will be posting new images every few days for you to try and find. This will start easy and progressively get harder.

Rules:
  1. Providing an original source gets you 3 pts, not-original source gets you 1 pt, profile pics gets you 0.5 pt
  2. Original source means the site the pic's original artist uploaded it on. If the artist uploaded it on multiple sites, only the earliest one counts. Let me know if you believe you provided an original source
  3. If someone already provided a source, you can still get points by providing a different source
  4. Points are limited to one not-original source per person
  5. Video sources do not count.
  6. Links to NSFW based image repos will not count, and post will be subject to deletion. Ignoring this rule can lead to silence.
About the images:
1. Images posted are not generated / custom
2. Images posted are or were able to be found at one point
3. Images might be cropped up to 90% their original format
4. Images might be resized up no smaller than 512x512
5. Images might be compressed by some amount
6. Images posted should be found on sfw locations

Tips:
1. If google image search fails, try other reverse image services
2. It might be found on certain language specific sites
3. It might be found on certain archival sites
4. Maybe obscure forums?

Leaderboard:
  1. 7 pt Patatitta
  2. 4 pt Kaaruumii
  3. 4 pt ghoulybits
  4. 3 pt Behrauder
  5. 3 pt silmarilen
  6. 2 pt dPeace
  7. 2 pt - cirno -
  8. 1.5 pt 179bpm
  9. 1 pt karamaru
  10. 1 pt Aireunaeus
  11. 1 pt keremaru
  12. 1 pt YyottaCat

I don't get the images from shady places.
Kaaruumii
wait so you want us to find the exact source from where you got it from originally and not the actual creator? i have noticed the pic you posted is lower res and lower quality of the one i found which i believe to be the true original posted on November 3, 2008 7:15 AM

ohh i didnt properly read the thread mb

Nah, any source so long as it's sfw. But if by some shear coincidence the ONLY source you can find is a nsfw one, I'll be surprised. There are 5 pics lined up so far, with the last one being "lost". Think of it as a boss level, and I truly have no idea where that one might be found

Safebooru.
¹Surprisingly, it had another pop-up on Safebooru. Here's the other one.
²Also found the background for Rubik's Cube on another index reverse search. Here you all go.

So then what is an "original source"?

i think it means the same exact place where abraker originally got it from which is confusing but if you read the thread "About the images:" part it makes more sense
Patatitta
ok found looking for it what the fuck

edit: also, only place I seem to find that the original author posted is the pixiv link, idk what more to share really

edit 2: nvm found something

Original source means the site the pic's original artist uploaded it on. If the artist uploaded it on multiple sites, only the earliest one counts. You have to say whether it's the original otherwise I won't perform the check and I will mark it as any other link.

I found a version uploaded 4 minutes earlier. There's a few versions of the image uploaded earlier than this, but they look incomplete.

https://piapro.jp/ex_content/history_list/TAn-/1

Surely this is the original source, I couldn't find anything earlier
Patatitta
the fact that you cant really know if that's the earliest or not is a bit weird, kinda feels like luck, I feel if it was like a couple hours difference it should not matter

also, every wip version is slightly different than the one I shared, so idk

I think it makes things more interesting tho. That's like saying a speedrun difference of a few milliseconds shouldn't matter. Ofc I'd like to see people snipe pts away :3

That said, Kaaruumi's entry predates the piapro source by a couple hours.

I actually technically found a potentially earlier source but when I clicked on the link it sent me to a fake aliexpress website so this is the closest

(You need to scroll down a bit, ctrl f Bestrafe-Miche for best viewing)

I'm going to be giving half points for profile pics cause they can change


edit: I am thinking of adding a new rule where people can provide any number of sources for previous images. Reason being that the one per person limit either ties a lot of people or makes it near impossible to catch up to someone who provided an original source

did kaaruumii find the sauce?, he's at 3 points right now, i'm struggling on this one, but I think I have a lead

It's the earliest source found so far, but if you get earlier you can steal the pts

oh god this one is tough, so far

Character is named "rinrin", from sister princess
Image is at least from 2006
This image has been used a lot without credit
This is maybe, original artwork by the series author themselves, tenhiro naoto (天広 直人), (as suggested by this, daanboru post)
This author had an old blog that is now defunct, only can be found by wayback machine,

i'm going to take a break for now

I went a bit digging myself, I found an earlier source from 2006 where the poster said they found it on google. Might even be from 2005

its labeled as a scan from the danbooru post patitta found, honestly i couldnt find an original source but its probably the same girl from this manga (labeled as sister princess) so its possible that this could be an illustration from the author himself (i wouldnt personally count this as an original source just to get an idea who the character is and who its from)

See the differences? its supposedly the same girl but in a different outfit but the character should be the same. The art in the second pic seems more modern even though it was from 2005 or 2006 and i have no idea when this manga was made but i still think it could be an original manga work imo.

basically i have no idea lol

I'll tell you this. The even earlier version I found doesn't have the chord going into the laptop and doesn't have the apple logo. So the one without the chord and apple logo is closer to the original image.

Gaia Online roleplay thread, find "Bestrafe-Miche".
Found an NSFW edit, which was weird. Won't post it, obviously.
And funnily enough, a great majority of the images I found had the girl wearing a blue shirt like Kaaruumii posted.

yeah that was one of my guesses, light novel is from 1999 so it checks outs

Next image is out! This one is... interesting. You either remember where this is from or you don't. I bet you won't believe your luck if you did come across it recently. I also think there is only one place you can find it. I'll give a hint on Discord if nobody gets it within 24h.
