This was one of my first introductions to anime drawn by a Western audience, primarily by that of Caleigh Goodrich herself. She was a popular anime illustrator and fan artist back from 1996 - 2000, though she mysteriously stopped producing 2D works to focus solely on creating small stuffed animals and fursuits (which seems to have ended in 2007). I wanted to archive these illustrations and share them with the world as they are very unique and all around superb. Not much of anime history on the web from this era is very accessible, especially from fan artists.
Caleigh in particular seemed to be very influenced by Hiroyuki Kitazume as well as Yoshitaka Amano among other influences.

Elements from all websites are also archived for posterity. Some works were not accessible as the files were untraceable.
Give us an update what is this Caleigh Goodrich/K upto in 2020

It's too bad there is no tag for "1990's Artistic Style" so that older items can be easily found for those that want to look back with a sense of nostalgia at all the fandom artworks from back then. The average anime/manga/artwork fan attitudes from back then were also quite different from how they are now.
I unfortunately don't know what became of her. Many people are selling her furry items on ebay that they purchased from her and they fetch a high price. I contacted several sellers to see what they knew at least and none of them seem to know and agree that she fell off the face of the earth around 2007. Agreed about the tags also, but as this is a hentai site most tags are tailored to that.
