Queen Chrysalis

[blackestbird]

Hey ponies!

It's been a while since I've been around, but I've missed the pony boards!

I've had this sketched up since watching the MLP: FIM season 2 finale, and over the last few days I've finally gotten around to coloring it. Queen Chrysalis has such an awesome design, I was itching to make a picture of her. Eventually I'd like to make a custom of her too, even thought it's been done several times now ;D I did a real background this time too! 

This is the first time I've done a more 'freehand' piece - I usually use ink my lines, but I wanted to try to do without this time. I think I'm pretty please with the result, although some places seem a bit too flat. Also, I know most of the changelings are missing their eyes - it was intentional ;D

It's also on my dA page. Hope y'all like it, this was a fun one!

It looks really cool! Reminds me a bit of a scene from Van Helsing with all the vampire hatchlings.
I love how you colored her hair. Looks like it shines like metal ^^

Holy cow this just knocked my socks off! :0 That background is just....drool worthy! It's so detailed! I never would have thought about how the Changelings are actually spawned xD I loooooove it! You have such amazing talent, dear

Thank you so much! I really wanted to do something with the Changelings too, I just loved this whole 'species' in the finale. I appreciate the sweet compliment

Aww you're such a sweetheart Thank you so much! Yeah once I saw Celestia trapped in the cocoon I really wanted to portray the changelings themselves being 'born.' I thought it made sense that they all started out like that at some point. ^^ Thanks for the sweet compliment on the background - I rarely do actual bgs, so that is so nice for me to hear!

Thanks y'all, so much!

Wow, that is incredibly detailed!  I love the background, the idea of the changelings hatching out of cocoons like that is awesome! 

Welcome back!

Very cool I shall need to watch that episode so I can see who and what that lovely is.

Welcome back!

Thank you so much Zenna! I don't do real backgrounds often, I usually just do something abstract, but this idea has been in my head since

Spoiler

Celestia was put into a cocoon in the finale

. (Put that in a spoiler link in case anyone hasn't seen the finale that wants to ;D) Thanks for the sweet compliment - especially on something I don't usually do in my pieces, that's really nice to hear :3

Thank you! I'm having fun being back, even if I still mostly lurk.

Very cool I shall need to watch that episode so I can see who and what that lovely is.

Thanks so much Diamond! :3 Oh she was definitely a very awesome character. I know FiM isn't popular with everyone, but the S2 finale really was pretty amazing. I kept thinking it was like HP, Disney, and MLP combined!

Very spooky looking.

Very spooky looking.

Thank you so much! I did want to capture some of that eerie feeling that Chrysalis/the Changelings has/have. Their design is a little, almost disturbing but very cool, so I wanted to capture that feeling.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Yeah, it gives off the same feel the Psycho Rangers from Power Rangers in Space did.

[Saja]

Wow thats awesome!

[gabumon]

Wow! Love her stance!

[blackestbird]

Wow thats awesome!

Thanks! ^__^

Wow! Love her stance!

Aww thanks for saying this, I had fun coming up with her pose, and didn't use anything to reference, so I really appreciate that compliment!
