"Who says a girl can't really have it all?"

Oh, god what is wrong with me!? A speedpainting I did of the season finale villain on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Holy crap, Hasbro, you had better make a figure of Chrysalis. I have never seen such a fantastic character design or deviously clever bad guy, and I've been a fan of ponies for over twenty years.

Done in the retro style, cause that's my nostalgia filter. I should probably go hide, because I have a feeling my page is about to explode.

Discord was a gigantic troll who was too powerful for his own good, but otherwise just had a twisted sense of humor. But Chrysalis? She's like this ancient, Lilith-like monster. The wastelands beyond Equestria that she was tossed back to had me excited for the possibility of some kind of grand adventure outside of the safety of the ponies' home, when they might have to face that great evil again.
I just love how this show plays with fantasy and myth tropes. Little snippets of complexity that have you begging to find out more. Not as involved as Avatar, granted, but a great introduction to the magic of world-building for little kids for sure.

I only just caved into the FIM recently as an old school pony fan. They are good con commissions, but I totally gotchya for old school nostalgia style. Especially the muzzles O.o It has always been hard to make them as tiny as Hasbro does D8

(Oh, cool, I'm not crazy for feeling so drawn to her design!) Wow, excellent work here. I like the way most of her body is kept unfocused, letting the eye settle on her face. And your techniques with digital paint are always wonderful to look at -- very textured and interesting.

I can Wayne Brady to help. I can Wayne Brady to help ALL DAY LONG.

(I was referring to my journal. I needed an animal to choke that no one would care about. I do love the pic by the way. Neat coloring job, I like the unrefined bits that contrast with the more refined bits.)

Boom. Brony explosion.
And yes, she and the other changelings really did have a fantastic, very creative design.
