Description
Well, in case anyone was interested in what I was up to behind the scenes, during this relative hiatus in the last several weeks, it was working on a prospective MLP fan-film, called Regal, headed by one Ian Ballinger .Regal was intended to be the story of Equestria being completely taken over by Changelings, the princesses being kidnapped, and the Mane 6, our heroines, had to rescue them and all of Equestria against seemingly insurmountable odds.
But as it turns out, the Regal film was not to be. It has now come to my attention that it has been canceled. Just as well that it happened sooner, rather than later, when more time and effort had been invested.
The Bright side? I get to share with you what I created as a concept artist for this film project. I mostly did “bad guy” character designs. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome.
Above are depicted the Changelings. I hope you like them.
I will probably move to my scraps later.
UPDATE: Wow, I honestly didn't think this would be considered good enough to actually be accepted by EqD! Thanks so much.

I'm not sure I see the connection. But thanks for your comment.

it was a poster to help units identify the enemy, often used as a form of proparganda

What about assimilated ponies?

You mean, like the Borg?
I don't know about that. Some fanon works seem to suggest that Changelings cocoon their victims, converting them into new changelings. That's kind of like the "Borg" assimilation process. But I didn't really get into that with these designs.

Oh my god, I mean... there's so much win here I can't even describe it. I love your designs for them. May have to steal a couple for my story one day if that's ok with you.

That's fine. It's also ok with me if you linked me to it, if you do write such a fic.

No the only question is when will I get to such a point to write about it. My current fic is about 16 chapters and I plan for their to be multiples of it. Probably in the next installment probably, if I do write them in they'd probably have something to do with my little parasprite ponies [link] . And before you ask yes I was bored and made a entire species off of parasprite ponies. I was bored at the time and made like four other types not listed their. It would probably include some sort of conflict between the two races.

Interesting. They kind of resemble the "flutter ponies" from G1; except drawn in a G4 style.

I've never heard of flutter ponies before, they definitely look interesting. Probably aren't as deadly as the para sprite ponies though, if they were I'd be scared shitless ;-;

Inspired by the reproductive cycle of bees huh? Does that mean there are changeling kings?
Also, GAAAHHHHH THE LORE!!! Love it!

Starbat In reply to Westfallen [2013-04-04 23:26:09 +0000 UTC]
Well, I was thinking mostly of how new Queen bees have to go off and start their own colonies.
But now that I think of it, a Changeling King would be interesting too. ;D

Oh wow, these are really awesome! I especially love the Antennae Changeling, it's rather pretty. XDD
Would you mind at all if I made an Antennae Changeling OC? I would credit you and link back to this sheet, of course!

Loving seeing these but any chance of a higher resolution in the full view? It's still difficult to read the small text.

Starbat In reply to Twoforflinching [2013-04-04 22:54:42 +0000 UTC]
Did you click full view twice? The largest one is pretty large. Let me know and I can set it higher, but I wouldn't think it necessary.

Twoforflinching In reply to Starbat [2013-04-12 15:13:48 +0000 UTC]
I often find full view just gives me the largest size by default. hmm...This shall require investigation.

Starbat In reply to Twoforflinching [2013-04-12 16:03:59 +0000 UTC]
The full view seems to bring the text in the image to the same size as the font in the description, at least on my screen. So if you can read the description, you should be able to read the text in the image.

Was Chrysalis born a sociopath, or did she have the empathy beaten out of her like she intends to do to her own child?

Starbat In reply to alexwarlorn [2013-04-04 20:39:23 +0000 UTC]
Probably the latter.
My head-canon has it that the Changelings are a race distorted from their natural form of life, kind of like how the orcs were created by torturing elves, in The Lord of the Rings.
So each new queen is "taught" to be evil by her mother.

SomeRandomMinion In reply to Starbat [2013-04-04 19:06:20 +0000 UTC]
...I'm suddenly getting an inkling of a fan-fic idea about little Chelicera.
Say, she gets separated from Chyrsalis after the invasion...and is eventually found by Cadence and Shining!

Probably just get rid of it. If it's too young, it may not have any strong love attachments to feed on anyway.
