I really like what you've done with this rendition. It's really cute, but it also shows a very strong minded and dynamic character. Additionally, the character is also recognizable as Queen Chrysalis, if this is mentioned. This is due complexion, hair, and above all horn and fairy wings (like also the S curves on those).



The pose itself is both dynamic and contained (more minimal movement, but enough to get across the point). Also, the wings are very well proportioned, and help guide the viewer from the head (starting at the horn), to the tail. The color choices are also distinct (despite there being a lot of blue in the pic, there are enough different shades of it to keep things interesting), and have a soothing effect. The more anime-esque style of the eyes is also liked (particularly without black pupils), and further help make stand out this character.



Hard to really say what really happened in Chrysalis' past. On a more personal level, I'd assume that she was already born a changeling, and that one or both of her parents (or grandparents) underwent a transformation into one. This mostly comes from the interpretation of the lyrics to "This Day Aria," and that Chrysalis is pretty much just living out and continuing what she was taught as a child. That is, it may be possible someone like this could be her mother or grandmother before becoming a changeling. Not saying this is definitive, though, as there are a lot of ways to interpret this one.



Nice work once again.
