I don't know. that's what MangaUpdates, MugiMugi and some other sites said. God knows they've been wrong before, but I altered it based on that. It's possible he uses either as an alias, but it slipped my mind to try and do an art comparison beforehand. Sorry, I used some bad judgement here, but if I'm wrong, then we can revert without complication since my edits were recent, anyway. Just at a glance, they don't seem to be the same, but they're not wildly dissimilar.

The second link should be takuji_(dekosenn).

No, never assume that your tags edits can be easily reverted. Danbooru has been suffering from frequent database timeouts, with user profiles and tag edits especially vulnerable. It was fortunate that I could access your edits, or else we would have to scour ootomo_takuji or rely on your memory to find the posts. People trying to "help" by moving tags around without telling anyone need to understand this.

I've reverted the edits so that people can compare. Personally, something about Takuji's work differs from Ootomo's. It's really subtle, but the eyes and the use of colors and shading don't quite match. Could be my imagination though.

Facial construction isn't even similar aside from anime style, I'd say they're different artists.

I went ahead and updated the artist enrties. Thanks for all your help.
