Explanation for non-bronies:

Changeling (species)

Wonderbolts (team, group, organisation)

"How I made this drawing:"

-------------Insectoid equine with the ability to take the appearance of any other pony. Literally requires "love" as a source of nutrition. "Bit" of a political clash between changeling- and pony-kind due to a recent (failed) invasion attempt on the pony-nation's capitol.The Wonderbolts are a highly respected team of professional stunt-flyers.However, while there are several sentient species capable of flight in Equestria (e.g. griffins), it would appear that the team consists entirely of pegasus-ponies.... so here's a Changeling who made it into the Wonderbolts. ------------------Going for a totally new drawing / shading technique here ... basically, how all the other people do it.drew the character using pen & paperscanned the pencil-drawingtraced my own drawing in Flash using the "ink"-tooladded basic colors in flashsplit the result into "color only" and lineartused GIMP for shading / lightingtotally overdo it with the shading / lighting on several layers.And BAM, had the finished digital lineart after just about 5 hours, and the entire picture done in less than a week. Usually, I'd expect theto take this amount of time. Could probably have done it even faster if I had figured out the whole "alpha channel lock" trick a little earlier. Oh, and the "smudge"-tool is pretty neat for shading purposes too.Wow.So, basically, I've probably been doing it wrong all my life, yay!Totally gonna have to do more stuff with this approach.Other changeling pictures:
