Description I really like Thorax. He's probably my number 1 favorite character that got introduced in the sixth season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I liked how we saw his evolution from little larvae who wasn't bigger than Queen Chrysalis' head, to become the new King. I personally have no issues with the new design of the Changelings though. I like colorful characters, and they also remind me of the original Flutter Ponies from G1. I can see however how other people might have problems with them. The same way I don't like the Rainbow Power designs or the outfits towards the end of Rainbow Rocks. It's all a matter of taste and opinion, and in my opinion these new Changelings look fine. My good friend Corner Engy did bring up a very good point when he saw this picture. He said that the new Changelings look better whenever they are shaded, as in anytime there's fanart of them. I think he's right, since shading can be what either makes or breaks a picture, which makes me look forward to what IDW will do with them in the comics.

I made this painting for BronyScot 2016, in a hurry and with somewhat of a time limit, as I wanted to get a print ready to first release it at that convention. I wanted to see how good my art would do if I were to make something nobody else had seen before until they got to my vendor table. How did it go in the end? Well, by the end of the day I managed to sell all of the A3 copies I had, and all the A4 ones except for two. I think it's safe to call that a big success. It felt rewarding and it gave me the boost of morale that I've been needing for months. I'm very insecure about my own art (I'm the worst critic I know) and anytime I post something I see only the mistakes on it. To say I have self-esteem issues would be to put it lightly. So seeing this much validation felt great. It managed to balance out all the negativity I've been putting up with for the past two years.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a print at BronyScot. You guys are the reason why I can do this as a career, so thank you for supporting me.

I hope you guys enjoy the picture!

Please, let me know what you think of it in the comments. I appreciate and every single one I receive.

Thank you!

I'm glad that you decided to give it another chance. It's managed to keep a fairly stable level of quality...pun absolutely intended.

I kinda jumped ship when Twilight got wings. Seemed like the best time to go. But season 7 has made me question that with the introduction of Aj's parents. The changelings getting more story and Twilight being the absolute cutest Aunt.

Wait I lied. Equestria girls killed it back then. I really hated the idea of human version of ponies instead of regular humans. But all in the past 7 has brought it back to life for me. πŸ’™

I agree. i love character developement whether it be characterization or physical wise. I also enjoyed this guy a lot. my only issue was the colors but it still did not take away from the episode. overall great work.

The problem with the colors is that, when some shading is applied to them, they work quite fine. But since MLP barely shades their characters the colors jar too much with the environment.

I think the only issue I had was that Thorax didn't speak after he got transformed. I hope we hear him speak in future episodes.

They revealed the voice in the latest trailer for Season 7. It seems Thorax has kept his Changeling voice, which I'm not against truth be told. I think it works just fine, but I can see people complaining about it.

I really appreciate that you got a print off of my table, you're super kind Thorax is my favorite new character introduced in Season 6, and I hope this made him justice.

Robshi In reply to jamescorck [2016-12-24 22:37:33 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!

For me Ember was my favourite new character, but Thorax is a close second. It was great to see Spike taking more prominence this season, since he's managed to befriend both dragons and changelings. Thorax had a really intriguing story and this pic not only does it justice but shows it really well.

jamescorck In reply to Robshi [2017-01-01 16:00:44 +0000 UTC]

Ember is really damn good as well.

Spike got the best support characters in his episodes, and even when he wasn't the focus he was a really good support character as well ("A Hearths Warming Tale", "The Crystalling", "Every Little Thing She Does"). It's almost surreal to look back to past seasons when Spike was more of a nuisance than a character.

Robshi In reply to jamescorck [2017-01-07 23:39:22 +0000 UTC]

Having always been a fan of Spike, I can't say he's ever been a nuisance to me. He did have a very strong showing in this season though, which I was happy to see.

Season 6 had the best run of Spike episodes. What a great season for the little guy.

Nicely done, though I think I'll still have an issue with the design, mostly how it felt too rushed and the antlers made me tilt my head a little.

Unkownbrony52 In reply to Daiskida [2017-02-21 03:12:05 +0000 UTC]

I see what you are saying. though I see them not so much as antlers then as a crest like or appendages like that of a rhinoceros beetle or a stag beetle. I just think the colors look gaudy.

Well the antlers look weird because they look like pincers. He looks like he's about to bite someone's head off with...well, with his head.

Yeah, well, they evolve with Love which in itself is a form of friendship. Good observation.
