Need help finding out the name of the original artist of this unicorn piece.

Okay, fellow pony peeps, heads up! This might be another case of stolen artwork, so I'm looking to find out the name of the original artist. I did have the original piece favorited in my unicorns folder on DA, but it looks like it was taken down.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the original artist. Can anyone help?

( and yes, I know this is probably one of the most stolen unicorn images on the internet, but if we can help to stop at least ONE thief, that's one thief less. ).

Sadly, I don't know. Never seen that art before, nor recognize the style. Sure is pretty though! Maybe someone will know.

There is an artist signature between the legs under the belly but I can not make it out.  Maybe you can zoom in and blow it up?

Might be this person http://banq.deviantart.com/ Their name pops up in google with it. It's not in their gallery though. Maybe cause it's old now?

I think you're right, Arkillian!
It IS an older piece, I remember favoriting it a loooooooong time ago on DA, and something makes me think that because it IS such a stolen piece, he decided to take it down ( though personally, I'd rather keep it up to have SOME kind of proof online that he created it. ).
