Artist tagging help

Posted under General

So I was gonna place a request in to rename Elico79068549 to something without a string of numbers attached to the end there, but then I noticed Elicooc, which is just a letter off of the former's Twitter handle and they have a very similar artstyle to boot. Elicooc does not shows all the normal signs of a Chinese artist who's Chinese socials didn't make it over to with the Pixiv and Twitter one's...Except for the tiny detail that Elico79068549 has a Lofter link to a different blog than Elicooc's.

I can't tell, due to the absence of direct links to socials present on one but not the other, if this is a case of them being the same artist, or just two different artists who by raw concidence happened to share similar names and styles. I'm leaning towards the former, but I don't have much more evidence than a hunch to prove it, so I thought I'd ask here about it.

The Weibo and Lofter accounts on Elicooc's entry are most likely owned by same person (Lofter1, Weibo1; Lofter2, Weibo2).
In my opinion it's safe to say the Pixiv account on Elico79068549's entry is from the same person (Pixiv1, Weibo1, Weibo1revision; Pixiv2, Weibo2) and so is the Twitter and the other Lofter account. Except for the Pixiv account, all of them have multiple shared images and photos around similar dates, with similar descriptions. I hit submit by mistake at first.
