He was always very self critical of his art, with multiple edits and redos. As for the show and fandom, I imagine he’s one of many that did really like the show and early fandom but soured during S03. At least that’s around the time time I remember him making art and comments against the show, anyway.

I wasn’t in the fandom during Ponykiller’s prime, but whenever he showed (shows?) up on Derpi, he seemed like an ass. I’m pretty sure he had an alt alias here for a while too (which has since been wiped clean), where posted angry-seeming things.

I’m convinced he’s trolling. Angry trolling, that is.
 
Funny story: He made another account posing as a different artist (we’ll call the artist B), and had art under that name posted here. Naturally people recognised the artstyle and accused B of stealing from ponykillerx. I took a screenshot, but I’ve no idea where because it was 2 or 3 years ago.
 
One thing though was that he was really good at exposing cheaters.

Do keep in mind that a lot of artists, particularly Russian artists, are very good at mimicking others’ styles, particularly artists that are already technically good, new to a scene, and like the style of an existing artist.
 
I have, with my special eyes, no evidence that ponykillerx lived on as another artist on this site.

Aha yes that one!
 
Not sure if PKX’s account is still around, but in one of his comments, he was kind of like “Shoot, you ruined the fun” when someone told another person that TracerHorse and PKX are the same person.
 
I mean, the name TracerHorse man. This feels like that one prank Grievousfan pulled one time on dA.
 
Apparently traces of PKX art are still around in here.

Well then.
I looked into the DNP list and found out Amarcato isn’t there. I thought he was in there. Previously his works were tagged ‘artist:php25’, but not anymore.
 
That one sounds familiar.  
I was wondering where that guy went off to as well.  
It appears the person’s DA account is also deactivated.  
Upon Googling the guy, it seems the guy was involved in a controversy

So it sounds like the guy got called out for bad behavior and said “If I can’t act like an ass then no-one can enjoy my art!”. I also want to say his name and art seems familiar.

The issue with Amarcato kind of died down (it’s almost unheard of unless you follow him). Amarcato did his own journal, admitting it was his own fault.
 
One thing to note is that he had previously deactivated his account multiple times, but this time for good. He also had multiple accounts (dA and tumblr), all of them deactivated except for one tumblr ask blog (luckily he forgot to deactivate that one).
 
He seemed… down. I’m sure that’s the reason behind the deletion of his multiple accounts.
