Description
Next commission forThunderlane may be a rookie, but he can kick some rear ends just as well.
Also there are Cloudchaser, Flitter and Thunderlane's little brother Rumble in the background. And some mean changelings, of course.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is was an incredibly interesting thing to draw
I really enjoyed working on composition and emotions for the picture)) And drawing lightning, rain and shiny eyes is always fun.
I'm happy with how this turned out, hope that you like it too Β

I had fun picturing the fight scene about to happen!
I'm not sure about the pose with the spear, though. Wouldn't it drop if held like that, unless he's got a wing grabbing it that we can't see?
Also, it's not a great idea to attack a magical queendom during a dramatic thunderstorm at midnight when the ruler can just say no, it's broad daylight now.

How do ponies hold stuff in their hooves in the show? Just like this)) It won't drop, it's a part of their pony-magic
Probably the ruler can't raise the sun right now. She's too busy doing something else, or she is out of her kingdom, or she doesn't want to mess up with day/nightΒ cycleΒ .Β
And it just looks cooler, isn't it?

This looks like it would fit perfectly in an action-y anime.

honestly im sick of all attacks coming from changelings. they arent evil, they just want to be loved and fed. there are tons of creatures in their world and people always pick on the cute little love bugs... it freaking breaks my heart.

Feel free to skip such pictures/stories if you're sick of them. There are enough images of adorable changelings who spread love (when in reality they feed on it, and, according to comics, the feeding process is not so pretty). Personally, I'm not a changeling-hater. But they were antagonists in the show, so it's understandable that so many people see them as evil and picture them as villains.

more like not enough nice changeling images

You can change this situation)) Draw more, and inspire others to do so

the best part about this to me has to be the lighting and highlights. The way the light shines on the characters is expertly done. Very well done in execution.

Thank you very much
This two things were indeed the most fun to draw, it's nice to know that you like them

For some reason this reminds me of the prison scene on Kung Fu Panda. Lol love it.

Thank you

It's a great pleasure to hear, really

Moar KKK/Holocaust stuff. Your commission giver needs his head checked badly to have that much hatred.

Why don't you just take this easier?
π: 0 β©: 1
Honestly, I would if this weren't the umpteenth picture of Changelings being used as cannon fodder for art. I mean, really, there are LOADS of other dangerous creatures throughout the entirety of Equestria. Why treat a species that only appeared for 7 minutes maximum get the same treatment as oneΒ that killed your family, burned down your house, broke all of your limbs, punched you in the throat, and spat on your face all in 1 minute?
π: 0 β©: 1
Perhaps that's because there are no other villains in MLP who could takeΒ their place. For example, Tirek and Sombra are too "epic", Nightmare Moon and Discord are good now (and they are too "major", too). Who else? Parasprites? Or diamond dogs? They are annoying, but not an actual threat. Changelings are like hyenas from Lion King - dangerous because of their number and aggressive enough. Perfect for some story ideas
π: 0 β©: 1
Timberwolves, Chimera, Dragons, Quarry Eels, Griffons? I can see multiples of these and would fill the role quite well, honestly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Timberwolves, Chimeras and Quarry Eels are closer to animals, so this is not for them. Dragons and Griffins were never enemies to ponies (if I remember correctly)). Of course they can be placed instead of changelings, but they are far less convincing in this role
π: 0 β©: 1
Timberwolves can fit the aforementioned "Hyena" role pretty well, actually. Chimeras are aggressive to the point of killing. Dragons have had some conflict with the ponies, even if not too much. If little Spike weren't around to help their image, they wouldn't exactly have a positive light now, would they?
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe it's my vision, but I think that this creatures are not evil. They are animals, they just don't know how to live otherwise.
Dragons - they are closer. But they would be a different level enemies, dragons are too big and powerful. Definitely not like changelings.

As the commissioner, I respect your opinion that you think the changlings are good, but I want to ask you three questions:
Should all action, war, or adventure movie directors or story writer's have their heads checked?Β
Are you aware that these are fictional character's that are only portrayed as evil per official source material?
Outside of fan created material, changlings have been shown to be evil and a complete menace to pony society. They invaded Canterlot and we're attacking innocent ponies during what was supposed to be a happy and joyful celebration. In the comics they actually ran into a village of creatures that offered them love freely and the basically sucked the life out of them. So if you're cool with artist's portraying them in a positive light simply because they want to. And by extension, Β that ponies are ignorant to and blind to their needs. Why do you have an issue with me portraying them as the monsters ponies actually see them as?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, they shouldn't, because they aren't reusing things that only got 7 minutes maximum of screen time and little knowledge of as kill fodder in about 90% of their pictures that involve a fight.
Yes, but again, very little is known about them and could be interesting to see more of.
Once again, not much is known about them due to their small amount of screen time. As far as everyone knows, they could all be in control of the queen with no sense of freedom. There's also more than just Changelings to be fought in the ENTIRE realm of Equestria. Quarry eels, Dragons, Hydra, etc.
The way you portray only them as the bad ones seems an awful lot like the Holocaust. While ponies are the main thing, they aren't the only ones who should be able to do something spectacular. Whatever happened to "Love and Tolerate"?
π: 0 β©: 1
You know what your biggest problem is, it's that you have no idea what you're talking about. Not trying to be mean, but you simply just don't know. Let me explain why you're wrong on so many levels.
First, you think I pick on the changelings, this simply is not true. These images I'm drawing are representative of future chunks of story that haven't even come into to being yet. I know you haven't read my story, because if you did, you would know they spent the entire first BOOK fighting a war against griffons and wolves(a different version of Diamond Dogs) You would also know that Changelings are not the real evil that the heroes need to worry about.Β
Two, you are obviously aren't even observant enough to catch on that these are the only villains that I've had Seanica portray in, The Ace, Soarin' is clearly fighting off the Shadow Bolts, who are also villains in my story (Who I have even less to work with by the way)
Three, whoever said I wasn't going to have them fight Dragons and other montsers? I totally am, but you are just incorrect, these other animals CANNOT fill the role changelings can. Timberwolves arn't sentient so they can't form a formal army. If the dragons decided too unite under one banner and march on Equestria... that war would last what? A week? Equestria would be burned to the ground! Hydras? You think Hyrdra's have the ability to form a standing army?!
Four, you can't give me a good reason to have them as good outside of you simply don't want them to bad. Well this is MY story, I wrote it, and I will NOT change it for you or anyone else. If you read my story, you would know that I will not be reforming Discord, I started writing it before he was changed, and I won't change that as he is an integral villain, despite the fact that the show changed him.
You like the changelings... I get it. They are one of the bad guys in my story. I have nothing against them, they're fictional characters. You really need to get over it.
π: 0 β©: 2
Considerate, I suppose, but I have other things to do than to stalk you or this guy, so yeah, I wouldn't know about all the things you two are involved in.
Whoever said they can't have an unknown leader? If we're gonna play the game where we're gonna be literal, what's to stop Parasprites from annihilating everything? They don't even have a leader, as far as shown.
Some of the reasons I can give you is that it's been done about a thousand times already and that not much is known besides them starving and attacking for that reason. Don't care if you change your story or not, that's your own line of work.
Fiction or not, we all find pleasure and joy from these characters. Think to yourself, what if Spitfire were on the receiving end here? Whether you wanna admit it or not, you'd have a least some amount of care.
π: 0 β©: 1
Someone asked that before and I'll tell you the same thing. I would not care. Spitfire isn't real. A cartoon character and nothing more. The changelings to me are no more than a literary device as are any and all characters.
This is story following a group of characters dealing with problems. The changelings are not the first enemy they have had to face and they will not be the last.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I suppose you're right. Guess this is just me reacting to my "friend"'s over-doing on this subject.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have no problems discussing things, but you're friend started swearing and being rude, so I responded in kind.
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh wow, I had no idea that there is such a serious discussion until you mentioned me XDD
Honestly, I don't understand why some folks keep saying that changelings should not be portrayed like this, even when they were clearly said that this is an illustration to a completely different story. It's YOURS and you can do ANYTHING you want Β
Though I'd love to see Discord reformed, he is my fave in the show XDDD But I won't complain if this will never happen XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I take my story seriously, and respect other's opinions, but these guys just have no clue what they're talking about. They see something and make blanket statements. For them to come out and verbally challenge art that that I paid you to draw, and drawn very well I might add, without any firm base outside of they simply like the changelings is not something that I can let slide.

But in a world filled with sunshine, sugary goodness, there happens to be a war, in case no one cared enough to read where this came from.Β This FICTIONAL FAN-FICTION has good-guys, bad-guys, and downright despicable characters.Β It just so happens that Gunflame345 chose the changelings to be the lattermost of those listed.
Now, a question enters my mind.Β For the record, prior to my question, I must state that IN CANON, the Changelings were a nearly unstoppable horde, using subterfuge followed by theΒ brute force of an invasion army with the sole intention of draining the love from all Equestria and its citizens.Β Also shown, when they drain the love from somepony, the victim winds up becoming weaker and weaker until they eventually drain away into little more than a withered husk (as seen not only by Shining Armor, the CAPTAIN of the Royal Guard of Equestria, being nearly unable to cast any magic or even stand, for that matter, butΒ in the comics, sanctioned by Hasbro and it's affiliates, where the changelings destroy entire cities of creatures who offered them nothing but love, leaving them little more thanΒ withered corpses).
My question is as thus: do you have any NON FAN CREATED proof that the Changelings are actually anything shy of evil, demonic entities that are bent on sucking the love and life out of other living creatures?
IfΒ not, please back off of Gunflame345 for his undisputed hatred of all things dark, menacing and outright evil (i.e. the changelings).

How do you expect me to have proof of something that's not understood outside of a few minutes of screen time and a few panels based off of the 7 minutes maximum used in the show in where they NEEDED a villain to be powerful? That's like asking me to paint a masterpiece from Vincent Van Gogh without any point of reference or painting skills whatsoever. Let's imagine if you and your family were dying of starvation. Does that make you all monsters because you hunt for something you need desperately? It also reminds me of dragons in this series. They're huge, ferocious, and attack pretty much anything that isn't them. They're displayed in a positive light because they have little Spike around to assist everypony. However, imagine if Spike wasn't around. Dragons'd be about as hated as the aforementioned bug-pony hybrids.

Is the wolf that slaughters the sheep a monster? It does so to stay alive, so of course not. However, if you were to ask a sheep that question of course he would say the wolf is a monster. After all, it's his family and friends that it's eating.Β
Everything thing can be monster... its relative who we're a monster too.
