The art of the Vistake in this wallpaper is probably by DD, I wonder, should I credit the DD for the Vistake art even thought DD didn't make the wallpaper but only the Vistake art?

DD should be credited yeah. Ideally the editor and DD would be on here.

The artist could be Wakaba because they designed Claudia Madobe and the final art of this looks very similar to their artstyle.

Also, probably not useful nor interesting info, but I found in the file metadata that this was made with "Adobe Photoshop CS6" and it was drew on 9/24/2012.

I've been looking for these models for a very, very long time, but it just seems like those models are no longer available. The only way to get them would be if someone who had them downloaded still has them saved. But I don't want to break the rules of the person who made these models throught if they said those models cannot be redistributed.

But here is barely no information about these models, all we know is that those models were made by person who goes by "Zero", and that here is a few footages of these models.

Know footages:

https://www.deviantart.com/mikelaruku/art/Mmd-Windows-8-Madobe-Yuu-And-AI-339259477 - This is what I uploaded in this post

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19406810 - A video featuring those models, HUGE possibility this was made by the person who made these models, as in the description the person doesn't not credit anyone for those models and says "improved version of something I made", it was machine-translated, but the context can be understood. The account that posted the video is probably deleted. Meaning that if the video was uploaded by the person who created those models, then here's possibility that those models are not available for download.

The video said it's "polished" or "improvement" version of these models, meaning that here probably could exist another video or something related to these models and possibly linking to the download of these models.

https://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im2829182 another link featuring Ai's model from this models. I can't prove if the link exist or not because I get a message that the service is not avaiable in my country, but this link has been archived at web.archive.org just without the image, but the image if you search deeply enough can be found on Google in some quality.

The tags also said "ใ‹ใชใงโ™ช" which is the name of the uploader, it made me to think that those models were either made by ใ‹ใชใงโ™ช and missunderstood happened, and wrong person is credited for the models and Zero just did some footage with those models but didn't created them but possibly shared the link so the person who made this image thought Zero created those models because they shared the link, or Zero also goes by ใ‹ใชใงโ™ช, or the person who uploaded the Seiga nico upload just uses their name as tag and didn't created those models, but if they didn't created those models, then why they didn't credited the person who made those models?

Also the web.archive.org page from 2013 about the video says it was uploaded by "ใ“ใ‚€ ใ•ใ‚“" but it is not clickable, I wonder if that is just a name for deleted account or something.

So I guess with all that I've found, the only way to get those models would be to contact the people who made those footages if they don't have those models or don't know where they downloaded them or if they doesn't have link to download them. Because those models could still exist for download but with some name like "Windows 8 mascots" instead of "Madobe Yuu and Ai".

Self-upload?

Also,
Not sure who the two left most characters are. But the furries in the top right I believe are Fender and Rednef the FurrAffinity mascots.

Edit: only unknown character is the furry on the left.

If you want to add other tag than general, just type the type of the tag with ":" before the tag.

Example: If you want to add a character tag, you will do "character:insercharactername". If you want to add copyright (series) tag, you will add "copyright:insertseriesname". etc.

Who on here is 4chan?
If it's Yotsuba, please note that she is not a character of 4chan.

Also what is paw printing and which character is from it?

This was the gif I was talking about in comment #202

When I look at ME-tan and 2k-tan's models here, they look slighty different. It makes me think that the models used in the papercraft were just slighty edited. Or that the models from the papercrafts and the models used in those gifs are not related to each other.

But the XP-tan model in this gif is definitely the same model as in post #1898

The style of this XP-tan model looks very similar to the model style used in the papercrafts of ME-tan and 2k-tan. (post #1881 and posts #1882 and #1883). The CE-tan papercraft I think if fanmade but it is also the same model type (post #1884).

It makes me wonder, could XP-tan papercraft exist? Did any XP-tan papercraft exist? Or it is just a condience and this model and those models used for the papercrafts are just very similar but are not related to each other?

The person who post this on Twitter said they made this model a long while ago according to translator, so it could be possible that that person was the person who created the ME-tan and 2k-tan papercrafts.

I also know here's a gif featuring this XP-tan model along with 2k-tan and ME-tan. I'll upload that too.

I think I will probably try to find info about the papercrafts I uploaded and try to find if XP-tan papercraft existed.
