3D illustration for a 2006 issue of the Dutch ComputerTotaal magazine, about parental supervision regarding MSN Messenger, which was a popular messaging application at the time.
I made the characters in the style of the MSN icons.
@metin Back then I was taking turns with my siblings to log into our Windows XP with separate log ins so I could chat in MSN. I miss MSN, you could customise it a lot more than modern iterations like Discord, etc
@scopefilter Yes, a lot of things were better in the earlier days of the digital revolution. Do you also remember ICQ? It was the first popular messenger application, in the second half of the 1990s.
@scopefilter It's been ages since I last used it, but I remember that your ICQ number (ID) was something to brag about. If your ICQ number was low (not to be confused with your IQ, haha), you were cool, because it indicated you were an early adopter. 😁
@metin That's really neat. I just looked up ICQ and apparently it's still going which is kind of impressive. The Web Design Museum has iterations of their website over the years https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/icq-1999
