Folks, seems I made an extreme error, but that is all it was, an error. I had commissioned a badge from an artist while at IFC last summer but mixed up the image with this one.

My most sincere and deepest apologies go to the actual original artist Arctic_Ermine. It was that artist who took the time to draw this for me, for my birthday. It was at the same time I actually commissioned other work from them as well.

So again, I say that I apologize for my poor memory. It was an error and I will try my best never to repeat such a mistake again. Any disrespect was unintentional. The badge that the artist Nyil did draw looks amazingly similar though, you will have to admit once I post it after returning home from my travels. I hope the actual artist of this piece my dear friend Arctic_Ermine will have the heart to forgive my epic failure.

Saying that; here is a piece of Gift art which I received in late December from an artist friend of mine named Arctic_Ermine. This was a surprise gift of my persona in pony form. This arrived in my inbox the same time as a piece of commissioned art I requested. located here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7117189

I have always admired this artist's work for years. Even if I have just mistook this piece for another. Perhaps all those Guinness pints I have consumed is finally catching up to me. I highly recommend that you should check out the gallery of  Arctic_Ermine and consider taking on a commission when its open for business again.

Also, my apologies to  Nyil for mistaking this piece for one of his. I really should lay off the Guinness for a bit and let my brain cells regenerate.
