Okay, so I recently uploaded post #791063 by this Pixiv artist, who chooses to identify herself simply with the letter R. I don't know if that's a temporary placeholder or something since she's only got one image uploaded, but another artist on Danbu already has that nametag. I'm not sure where he got it, though, because it doesn't feature anywhere on his Pixiv page.

So, I'm not sure what to do about this. Ideally, I'd like to re-tag the second artist with a more appropriate name tag and reserve R for the artist who actually calls herself that. Mabye "るもい," whatever that Romanizes to, which is what he calls himself on his blog.

Use rumoi, the name on her blog and twitter.

Actually, the blog I posted is listed on r's artist page, but... now that I look back at it, the art on that blog doesn't even remotely match the style of either of the artists originally in question and the Pixiv link on that blog leads to an entirely different, third artist.

Doing a little more digging, it seems like the "r" artist tag actually included work from four different artists, all but one of them the result of tag typos that were never caught. Someone added a tag that started or ended with r and also included a random extra letter r by itself. And all but one of them already had another artist tag.

So, I've decided to turn the current "r" artist entry into "rumoi," since it lists her blog and the "r" tag includes all the artwork we have from her. I've also decided to remove the "r" tag from the Yugioh fanart from the second artist, since it's the only piece of art we have from him, and the original poster never tagged the artist. And I've also decided to create a new artist entry for "r" and include a tag for it in my recent upload.

Jeez, what a mess. Hopefully this plan of action makes sense.

The other person is kia's husband. He sometimes comments in her website, but it seems that he doesn't draw pictures.

I think the artist here is called Kia but i just wanted to double check cause on the website it has a drawing of two different people (http://www.ruruten.com/profile/index.html) From what I can tell, the other person seems to pop up in some of the web comics the artist has done, but i'm not sure if they work together or the other person is literally just a character.

"kia" is too short, use kia_(ruruten).
