Reason: Reverse alias from 2014. topic #6864

The short version is that this artist still signs their art FoxInShadow to this day and has many accounts under this name, some still active, but only one Zero-Sum account. I... don't know if they've ever signed their art Zero-Sum. Yes, art signed FoxInShadow gets posted to the Zero-Sum account. The FA Zero-Sum account seems like a backup account that became primary when they lost access to their main FA FoxInShadow account, which probably remains left behind because it has their oldest art. They became increasingly invested in loli art over the last several years, so the accounts relevant to that have been far more active whereas the other accounts appear to have slowed down or are on hiatus.

LittleWeirdoNeko is the name for the subscription account duo of FoxInShadow and Kukseleg ("Kuki"), Fox's IRL partner. Art connected to this account gets a LittleWeirdoNeko watermark in addition to the FoxInShadow watermark and any other watermarks.

Entirely too much text to reach the obvious conclusion, I hope. All these newer accounts called FoxInShadow, several (all?) with the ability to change account name, and the FA Zero-Sum account that cannot change its name + the abandoned, old FA FoxInShadow account. And choosing to sign all their current art FoxInShadow. All signs point to FoxInShadow.

followup
