A long, long time ago, I entered into an art trade with Dreatos. Unfortunately, shortly after that happened, the pony community became a very toxic place to be in for many folk. Division, strife and misery overwhelmed a ton of people, myself included. This is a long, long outstanding debt. I don't know if Dreatos is still around, or will even appreciate this, but it's been a long time coming, and I'm sorry that it's taken so long. Every time I tried to come back to this picture it just weighed on my soul, and while that's no excuse for letting a debt last this long, it is the only explanation I have. At least, the only explanation beyond feeling like my old art, from 2013 could never measure up to the standard of quality that I can put out now. Regardless, it was time to go back to the original picture and do my best to polish it to the level I could at least post it and be okay with others seeing it. It's not my best work, but it is at least, aesthetically satisfying to a degree.

I'm sorry, Dreatos. I shouldn't have made you wait for this. to the point where I don't even know if you'll see this. To that end, I'll simply end in a traditional artist fashion.
