Topic: artist confusion: Dolphy <-> Dolphydolphiana

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Dolphy and Dolphydolphiana both seem to be the same artist and use the same Deviantart page for some pictures. The Signature there seems to evolve from Dolphy in a dolphin to Dolphiana and then Dolphiana with dolphins at some point.

However there are other Dolphy signatures that do not match that style - hand written ones that are uploaded on Fchan and have a distinctive seperate style of drawing - likely an other artist.

-> Is that enough reason to need a wiki page?

I think putting that information down in a wiki would be helpful. That information about the signature evolving could help people who are trying to identify if an image is theirs or not. Or it could help someone trying to sort out a tag mess. Or help someone who's confused whether they're two separate artists or not. It sounds like you've done some decent research, so putting it in their wikis so other people can benefit from what you've found out would be helpful.

Further Research done, found another connection...

THIS one features the handwriting style, and is claimed to be done by Dolphy on DA. The link is now... guess who: Dolphydolphiana.

and I found the very same picture also on DA:

ERGO:

Dolphy IS Dolphidolphiana is dolphiana. the handwriting is a style might be used for some reasons.

Ok, fixed that - but dolphydolhiana and Dolphiana for sure are the same - Alias?

Sounds and looks good to me. And an alias for those two sounds like a good idea. Just make sure to add it to this thread: https://e621.net/forum/show/82755 as well to make sure it doesn't get lost.

Nice comparisons on the wiki btw, that should be very helpful for people trying to identify the artist. *high five*
