Topic: what to do with artist named pbfurry and byzantyn (and one of his characters named byzantyn)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

currently see two tags for same artist

(neither redirects to the other)

Artist seems to have used both names as an artist name. (see section one below)

Artist also has character named Byzantyn. (see section two below)

Alias byzantyn to pbfurry?
Have the character tag be byzantyn_(character) ?

section one

Username at LavaDome is Byzantyn

A lot of the artist's art seems to be "© PBfurry". (name used on 2007 art)

Also "© PBfurry 2007 a/k/a Paul Banta"

"© PBfurry Paul Banta 2007"

with "art by Byzantyun" (I guess he changed spelling ... or Byzantyun with "UN" was typo.)

pbfurry and byzantyn

pbfurry already has byzantyn as an other name in the pbfurry's tag info so first off, the byzantyn artist tag shouldn't exist. byzantyn should simply be tagged as a character tag instead.

i'll clean that up for you. uh...wait, which is the character? the black and yellow (gold?) dragon?

ok, yeah, that's the character in question. and...done.

pbfurry is the artist with byzantyn under other names and byzantyn was changed from artist to character tag.

This is Byzantyn/PBFurry. I'm aware of the problem and I'm sorry for the misunderstnadings. I've creatred a new account--Byzantyn_PBFurry today. I can't post anything to it for a week, but I've requested my art be taken down from the other two accounts I've maintained (Blitzwulf/Lupeaux) and will only submit new art from the one sight (once I've cleaned it up with a graphic art program--the old stuff is a bit shabby). PBFurry is the artist name for all the art, Byzantyn is just the name of my dragon. Once I'm able to, I'll just submit art from the Byzantyn_PBFurry account, (or it may be better to just change the name to PBFurry?).

(posted from Lupeaux because Byzantyn_PBFurry is too new to post to forums yet)
