Artist tagging help

The artworks like post #8659930, post #8660760, and post #8678669 were anonymously posted on the Futaba Channel. However, it is known to have been created by a single artist. Although the artist stopped posting in 2018 without revealing their identity, he was referred to as Kuripe Aki (クリペあき; the anonymous Clip Studio Paint user) by other users. How should these works be tagged in such cases?

As I already mentioned in DMail, I do think this warrants an artist tag of some sort (but I'd like input from other users). As of right now the artist can be isolated through user:SchattenReiter source:*2chan* for reference. Also going to link Anonymous (Japanese) for good measure.

The artist behind post #8692814 is Aiu, the issue being that there's a Lot of artist tags that are exactly that, and I don't know how I should go around differentiating this one. Thanks beforehand.

When in doubt you can just use the stacc name as a qualifier (which in this case is user_dujw2424). It's clunky and inelegant when it's a randomly generated one like this, but it works.

Couple of third-party sourced posts from Pinterest (my enemy) have artist name and IDs for... some website. It's all in Chinese and I think the effort it would take for me to transcribe it would be better done by someone who can actually read and transcribe Chinese without squinting and referencing wikipedia.

post #7743460 doesn't have an ID number anywhere but might have an artist name.
post #7701395 has a Weibo watermark.
post #6774894 has a watermark with an ID, I think.
post #8319935 has the world's least visible and legible xiaohongshu watermark in the bottom right.
Already created tag Emerald (3317068329) since their main handle is English and I can transcribe that. Someone else should probably create the artist wiki entry though.

Oh dear lord, all of these are mine. They irritated me to fail at finding the source for then, and they still irritate me to not be sourced now. You have my sympathy.

The website besides Xiaohongshu and Weibo is BCY...Which is now dead, making a lot of sourcing efforts nigh impossible at this point, as I started uploading for Danbooru too late in the game to make use of BCY without the Wayback Machine. Doesn't help that some of these are OCs who I know the creator of likes to post their commissioned pieces of them for themself as opposed to the artist, making it that much harder.

1. Done.
2. The watermark in post #6774894 is a third-party watermark.

3317068329 may be this Lofter user’s QQ number. According to Lofter, it’s a writer and commissioner whose posted illustrations are from other artists.
Edit: The actual artist of post #7556571 is confirmed. I think the tag can be removed.

Updated

Thanks you very much, it's sensible enough!
