Damien Koh
http://skyscraperpage.com/members/profile/?4 is said to be registrated only on January 2003, but he is Illustrator ID #4, the number 4, and has most of its 321 diagrams already active black-white outlined with ID from the oldest one ID # 99, lowest number, until some drawing ID of about 600, this means very old ones from a range of 99 - 600. Its diagrams are still active and were not deleted, maybe 23% of his diagrams are the earliest ones outlined, 76 of 321. This means some conclusions:
1- On 2002 or 2003 had a big reformulation of SSP to have all been historic registered. So, maybe members still between 1997 - 2002 had their account reformulated again to fit in those today way of registrations and were kept.
2- He could be one of the oldest guys together the starting of this site because he is illustrator number 4. So probably he entered here before 2002 and maybe already in 1998. Site started on End of 1997, almost 12 years now.
3- Although most of his outlined black-white illustrations are still here, probably he is one who made that in greater quantity among the beginners, but his illustrations are found as the diagrams' buildings that Artemka 1998 old pic shows, according this link
http://reach-for-the-sky.50megs.com/Tall.htm , but not already in SSP as active, among all of the 321 still today registered. If those illustrations belonged here to him, then probably were already deleted, replaced or has no register from them anymore. This reason could be that those illustrations are among the ones deleted before 2002 and not yet registered.
4- Although most building of the 1998 shown pic were drawn from him, only the building #2, the Moscow State University, is redrawn also by Damien Koh as building ID# 182 see
http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=182 , 2 of the illustrations of this structure belong to him. So probably the oulined one showed in the pic could be yours, but maybe already replaced with one of those newer ones. Same way to do, but now coloured.
5- The illustration ID #99, the oldest outlined of him, still active, is this Building ID#101, an old one, Umeda Sky Building, see
http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?buildingID=101 a building built in 1993, 5 years before the SSP diagrams documentation. When this illustration was done, the building structure had already existed for at least 5 years.
As he had also made some outlined illustrations with touches of colors and he has made same building with 2 versions, an older outlined and a newer coloured and more detailed one, he probably replaced some of the most outlined of his illustrations with newer versions, a self-understanding development.
As conclusion: his most of old outlined illustrations, still here, could be from the time period between 1998 to 2002, at least 6 years ago and probably sure of aged 10 years old at least. But it could not be said that all are of at least 10 years old.
This Illustrator is one of the most historical ones.
Curiosity: Even the fact the site started in Canadá, suddenly a guy from the other side of world joined to it in a blitz short time, cause he is from Australia, a country of about 20 thousand km far away in south hemisphere, other the the north one. This shows how international this site is and internet made communications much faster since 1998, not to say about the evolution of 3D and Graphic Softwares, that implemented a lot the quality the drawings.
