Madoka was a character from Kimagure Orange Road. I drew her a lot.
This original was from an artbook by Akemi Takada:
The copy I made was found in Choice of Gods, and I made her blink from time to time:
This other original was from the same artbook I think:
And the copy was included in our Rising Force demo:
Finally this one was the cover of Animeland issue 7 (a magazine dedicated to japanimation):
My copy was included in an obscure (and rather lame) intro/demo called Dreamways:
IIRC there was another ST graphist who copied the same image and then claimed I “ripped” his picture… Which was very strange considering none of us were the original authors. We both liked the same stuff and copied the same source.

Twix copied the same picture which was used on Supremacy disk #51:

Is he the other ST graphist you refer to?

No I think it was Pégase/Adrenaline IIRC: https://demozoo.org/graphics/149438/
We all copied that same pic

Interesting (?) fact: I never found the source illustration for the animeland cover. I asked friends that worked there and it seems it comes from a shikishi (the laminated plastic writing pads, remember?). However I collected shikishis at that time and I never saw this one, so it may be quite rare.
My guess is that every conversion of this picture done in the 90s used this cover as reference.
