Description A colour edit of my previous picture with a ghastly green glow. I personally love this edit, I think it makes it even more menacing!

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'

Oh, yeah? I know a better one written by a Sir Jackson. Next time you come here to hurt these people, I'll recite it for you.

For no mere mortal can resist it...

This was the last glimpse of her I saw before I was stabbed in the chest.
I made her pay for that one. Took her weapon clean off her head.

Apologies for the delay, I've been away And in answer to your question, even with the murky "hive light", there's enough on the left side of her face to pick out definition, while the right side is completely pitted in shadow, so the details of her eye are lost and only the glow would be visible. So to me, that looks just right And atmospheric!

What you said:
"Theres still enough light"
What I read:
"Im just too lazy 2 edit it cuz all i did was remove the blu and red layrz to the pic"

Well, if that's how you feel, what can I say? Sorry I'm not trying hard enough? Sorry I couldn't decide whether to use the normal version or the Hive Light version and so decided 'why not both'?

Thanks so much, I'm so happy you like it And the green lighting happened sort of by accident... but I really love how it turned out!

Hehe, thank you I completely agree! I was just editing a few colour balances to try and make the eyes seem to glow a little brighter, and completely by accident I ended up with this. Talk about a happy accident

PonyEcho In reply to WinterDominus [2014-08-11 21:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much I see what you mean, it does look like it could be the glow of her magic. When I first saw it, I imagined it was like the sickly green glow inside a Changeling Hive

MagicBIaze In reply to PonyEcho [2014-10-27 22:22:49 +0000 UTC]

Also, i always wondered, where is said "hive" supposed to be? Under the queen's castle or something?

PonyEcho In reply to MagicBIaze [2014-11-01 09:51:57 +0000 UTC]

It could be just about anywhere. I like the idea that the Changelings can infest structures and caves with their gross green goop and mold it into a hive for their forces

So logically, probaly-
DEVIANTART
WHY YOU POST MY UNFINISHED COMMENT ¬_¬

So, by that logic, then their hive [Or at least the main one.] IS in the castle.
Also if you din't read the comics,

THIS castle.
Also i'm wondering.. who did they kill to get that castle?

You're the first deviantart user i found which actually knew about the comics AND din't yell at me for how "non-canNon" they are.
Here have a Llama. :3

Thank you I like the comics, they're good fun (and at times kinda badass). Canon or not, I think they're well written, well drawn and have some great storylines

MagicBIaze In reply to PonyEcho [2014-11-01 22:00:28 +0000 UTC]

But they ARE canon. xD
