About
Artist & Gallery History
Hi! I'm Ket Ralus. =} I've been creating art for 20 years. Here's a brief history of my gallery and my art.
I began my first piece of adult art on September 1st, 2002. I decided to share my work online so I created a website on GeoCities.
The site was born on November 8th, 2002, and had 15 pictures at launch.
At that time, I created art under the name Kinmotsu7, a pseudonym I selected around 2000 or 2001 when I picked up a fascination with hentai.
In January 2006, my website got private hosting and its own domain name: Kinmotsu7.com -- I also started using hand-coded php.
In September 2006, as the site was redesigned from scratch, and Coppermine gallery software was installed to manage all of the pictures.
I began my journal on September 29th, 2007, and migrated the gallery to the WordPress journal software over the weekend of April 4th, 2008.
On January 13, 2009, I announced I that I changed my artist name to that of my turtle-inspired character, Ket Ralus.
This included a new domain: Ket-Ralus.com
Later on I migrated to the Shimmie software, the same used on the original Rule 34 website (Paheal).
It started out just for references ("Ket's Reference Repository") but soon encompassed my entire gallery.
Some years later I redesigned this as gallery2. And the rest is history! =}
