Title: Need help finding out the name of the original artist of this unicorn piece.
Post by: Bee-chan on February 12, 2012, 06:16:26 PM: 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. ).

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. ).
