Hi Stormlegacy,

It took me awhile to remember who you were because at first, I could not remember either your name or the event.

First, thank you for the badge. I think it's one of my most unique badges and is such is cool. :3

Secondly, let me clarify for readers what happened because I was really confused when I first read your account and didn't even remember anything like this happening.

As I remember it, Stormlegacy and TK_Bull were hanging out and arting on the floor in he Westin Hotel common room(2nd floor). It was past midnight and all three of us were up late. I decided I wanted to ask both for commissions so I did. If I commissioned Stormlegacy inside the artist room the previous day, I don't recall.

Now Stormlegacy's speciality, if I remember right, was that she drew cervices (ie. deer/cow-like creatures) and I remember her saying that she hadn't much practice drawing dragons. We spent a few hours just hanging out and talking while she and TK_Bull were drawing for me. It wasn't like there were lineups or traffic there in the common room that late at night. So, anyway, I got to see the badge as she was drawing it and I thought we were just having a friendly back-and-forth conversation about how my badge looked as she was drawing it. I was just giving constructive criticism. Her art was not bad at all but my character looked more like a cow-anthro than a dragon before I pointed out how she could fix the jaw-line. TK_Bull, the more experienced artist was also giving advice to Stormlegacy which like mine she didn't seem to mind either. I wasn't anything like "Oh, your art sucks and you need to this and this, blah blah blah", I was like "Oh, see, here if you bring the jawbone down a bit it will look more like a dragon". I remember the night being a very relaxed, and friendly night. I vaguely remember TK_Bull saying "you asked what you paid for" but when he said that he was very friendly and I interpreted his comment as 'well, that's her style so you shouldn't be surprised if your badge looks like that'. Stormlegacy, when you say "it wasn't until TK_Bull stood up and told him he got what he asked for", you make it sound like a confrontation which it wasn't at all. I don't remember him standing up but even if he did, I there was nothing that happened that night that I would have called confrontational or even close. Obviously we view the world in very different ways. Really, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad at all. So, I'm terribly sorry that I made you feel this way. And, I do like your badge.
