Description They watch you from the shadows,
They creep and steal your face,
They wear it like a mask outside,
As they quietly take your place.

They wear your eyes, your mane and smile,
Your friends now theirs to take,
They walk your walk and talk your talk,
A picture perfect fake.

Your friends won't know the difference,
The creature in disguise,
It will strike them down, one by one,
A master of surprise.

So beware the Changelings, my young pony,
Tell everyone you knew,
And pray your warnings not too late,
Or now they come for you.

- 'They Watch You From The Shadows' taken from 'The Big Book of Campfire Stories for Brave Colts and Fillies'

After so long working on my OC party, I wanted to shake off the cobwebs with an exciting little project I've had in mind for a few days. I decided I wanted to try my hand at Queen Chrysalis - I've always loved the black and green contrast that is associated with the changelings, and though that maybe I could do some exciting light and shadow effects to create a dark, sinister tone for Her Majesty. Honestly, this picture has turned out a lot better than I hoped!

I turned this into an emblem on COD BO2, and holy crap does it ever make a bad ass emblem.

Not sure if you saw my other comments, but never mind them. I should be able to get the emblem this weekend.

Well you did an AWESOME job. ^^ Keep up the good work. Have you tried Nightmare Moon in the same way as you did this?

I like the way you think! I did have an idea to do one of each of the major villains, but I never followed it up... maybe it's something I should consider. After all, I do need a break from drawing cute...

StellatheFox26 In reply to PonyEcho [2015-03-30 20:29:27 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps. I would actually like to see both NM and King Sombra because they are pony villains. Discord could be done in a similar way but I think the effect would lose a lot in the translation.

I'd throw in Tirek too, given his amazing performance as a terrifyingly powerful villain

StellatheFox26 In reply to PonyEcho [2015-04-19 21:07:21 +0000 UTC]

Huh, good point. I think that would work wonderfully. Though I wouldn't use just black for the darkened part of his face.
