You say you wont be drawing ponies much, but you still can't refuse drawing your beloved queen can you?I really really like this, it's got an eerie atmosphere yet oddly attractive and sexy with the silhouettes in the background. Makes me question just who those attractive figures in the back are, if not simply changeling followers.Chrysalis herself looks amazing. I like how its showing her very beautiful human appearance, but underneath the false skin is a creature of both terror and power. At first, I couldn't tell if she was transforming, wearing armor or something else, but taking more time to appreciate it, I noticed the truth.I love how rather than flames changing her appearance, like most artists would stick to portraying, it looks like her skin shatters like glass, which is really cool and original in terms of what their transformation could be. Seeing her soft human skin over the armored exoskeleton really makes me wonder what the rest of her looks like in her pure form. Is she still the beautiful queen we see here, only with an insects exoskeleton? Or is she something far more horrifying? (I do hope she keeps that beautiful face at least)I also like how rather than just being hard armor, it outlines her muscle structure, yet at the forearms it turns into the natural hole filled limbs. I also love how her hand looks almost robotic. But one of my favorite parts of her pure form is the wing. It seems so sharp and weaponized rather than looking frail and soft. The octagonal pattern on the wings base also seems like it's being connected in an almost celestial fashion rather than simply being part of the body.One thing that I really admire is her expression and how well you designed her face. She truly is beautiful, and the green lipstick is also a good touch. However her expression I feel has a lot to say. When you focus on the individual pieces of her expression, it looks a mix of tragedy and enjoyment from her transformation. It seems she's smiling, but at the same time, her eyes say this event is sad to her. I love pieces that emphasize expressionsPeople may complain about the plain background, but I think that was a good choice. Who needs a detailed background to take away from the focus that is this beautiful changeling queen?There are only two things I could really say need improvement or could be changed.1. I feel her crown and horn are a bit frail and small for her. The crown looks twisted which is good, but I feel there could have been more detail on it, since it looks like an oddly jagged horn.The horn itself I feel looks too similar to the other changelings in the back, and could have had more curving and perhaps a bit bigger.2. The shape of the breasts I feel looks too much like they're being supported by something. Now it is exoskeleton armor, so they would naturally have some support, but something about them feels too firm.On the other hand, I feel like the right breast could have been half human skinned as well as a quarter of the right side of her entire body. It seems like not enough of the human skin was cracked away for the entirety of the abdomen to be revealed, and full nudity could have been avoided still just by having the skin over a part of the breast rather than the full thing. I also feel that could have been potential to show more cracking of the skin and show the contrast between her hard exoskeleton and her more soft human skin.But those are just minor thing for me. In the end, this piece has so much perfection and is just plain beautiful. Filled with a great deal of skill, imagination and even emotion. I hope others can appreciate this like I have, because it is damn impressive, and I'd say worthy of being shown on the daily deviations.Keep up the great work Underpable, and may we see more of this beautiful changeling queen from a talented artist like yourself.
