I bet this is how Thorax left the hive, or something along those lines.

I'm tempted to ask the very same question. I'm however anticipating that this picture will become very common for fics involving Thorax.

I think Thorax has become one of my favorite characters. The show unfortunately failed to expand on his character outside of his debut episode and the season 6 finale. They could have done so much more with him! I admire his bravery for leaving the hive and trying to find his own path/find a way to sate his hunger in a peaceful way. I do agree his reformation was sort of rushed (minus any off-screen moments/possibilities between S2 finale and his debut) and the show didn't really take advantage of him as much as I personally think they should. While I think being shown true friendship while watching the main 6 fight off his brethren is a good start, I think there should have been more reasons as to why he would leave everything behind. Maybe it took until season 6 for him to appear because he was in an inner battle with himself on whether to leave his mother and siblings. I mean he was raised there. He had to have conflicted thoughts. Should he stay loyal to his queen and siblings despite not liking the means of which they sate their hunger? Or should he risk it all, even his own life, to try and find a better way? When someone is born different and/or thinks differently in a society with set rules and expectations, it's going to take time for that one person to turn on everything he was taught and be himself. Hiccup spent many years yearning for acceptance, then finding out he just can't be like the strong viking stereotype that is set in that world. It took meeting and bonding with Toothless for several months to realize his true talents and discover who he really is.
In my eyes, Thorax must've gone through a whole lot to leave the hive. You can't just see a display of friendship and immediately decide to run off and find a way to share love. True I think Thorax naturally thought differently from his kin but his loyalty to his siblings and queen is also a strong part of him. There has to be a process that explains how Thorax went from random changeling drone to the brave individual that proved that the world isn't black and white. He would have to consider so many things such as betraying his queen and kin, leaving behind everything he knew, and risking death because he refuses to steal the love away from ponies. I do not believe that Thorax could've survived so long without feeding once in a while after the Canterlot Wedding. If he didn't feed, he would've been long dead by now. Or as I first pointed out, he could've left the hive at a later date and wandered back to somewhere near the Crystal Empire.

This is marvelous. Thorax was so cute in the show and now you gave him really great emotional
impact. Great work as always.

A very good pic!
On other hand, to be fair I am pretty dissapointed with this character by his "fast" reformation (only two episodes!!! When Discord still isworking in it!!!) and overall by his"transformation", and with him almost all the changelings, in that shiny things buaaggg (seriously who has the idea of the anters...Celestia! he remebers me to much the new design of Penny from Gumball:vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/t… )
In fact this last episode let me with an "bitter" flavour in the mouth, not only due to that the little speech of Celestia about to improve the"relations" between their realms did that Thorax seemed to be so much a "Puppet King" put in charge of the "Diabetes Changelings" to avoid only that them can become again a problem. If not specially for the inner "message" that CHANGE gives you: you can be a really good guy in spite of your "strange or ugly" aspect but to be really accepted by the others you need to change your "look" to be more "nice" for them, losing in the process your own personality and identity (in that case not only Thorax if not all the Changeling race, and not I don´t see their "transformation" because they take the decission of "share" their love as an improvement of their race or something like their true aspect.)
In other words, I had prefered that the Changelings had conserve their original aspect because "to good or bad" is which made them unique: "far from the ponies but at the same time so close".

This is so cool. Also, this is probably what happened when he went back and tried to change the changelings.

Aw!, brings a new perspective on just how much he had to give up.

Must've been hard for Thorax

Contrary wise. You have every reason to be proud of this work
Perspective and the method of colouring give the feeling of a surrealistic nightmare taking place.
I can attest that when something this traumatic happens you feel out of body and anything that is not important gets blured out
You nailed this
My heart goes out to this changling and that is something I don't usually do.
The act of friendship Spike put forth paid big dividends in so many ways

Thankfully he has a friend now. Yeah, I would hug him too.
Sad, but beautiful work

I wish they'd kept him like this. Not sure I'm a big fan of how they changed him.

I like it, but as you said, it feels like something's missing...
Maybe his middle section (with the segments!) needed more detail?

He felt the pain, so he has to run and find proper love elsewhere.

To be continued? Yes or no xD
