This was first drawn when I finished Discord's.... Yeah, this took a while. A lot of a while.
So... to start off, let's focus on her wings and ears. Both are based on cicada wings, and are translucent to varying degrees,
Her 'crown' is actually antennae, and the kind I based it on are clavate antennae, clubbed ones that appear in beetles and butterflies.
The 'waistband' connecting her plates is her wombish type thing. It's where the eggs she makes as the queen of the hive are grown. It's the most vulnerable part of her, but if she didn't have it, she wouldn't be able to lay eggs. When she has eggs, it slowly engorges and expands, so her plates are pushed apart.
Her armor plating stretches as well, the links allow it to expand as well.
I gave her holes in her hooves to imitate unicorn's cloven hooves.
Heavily inspired by 's style, especially with the tails and stuff. But I tried to make my own thing and shit.
Rules of the style?:
Unicorns all have cloven hooves with trailing fetlocks and tails unless they're a halfbreed, in which case, they can be born with a standard tail and hooves. They can also be born with chest and tail feathers if they're part pegasus
Alicorns have both tail feathers and unicorn tails and hooves, as well as earth pony strength.
Pegasi have feathers instead of fetlocks and have feathers on their chest and shoulders instead of fur. Feathers are the color of their mane. Halfbreeds can have feathered tails or chest feathers too or even non feathered chests and/or hooves (But all pegasi (halfbreed or not) have tail feathers.)
Hooves are the color of their eyes and horseshoes match their cutie mark's main color. Cutie Markless ponies have grey horseshoes. Not silver (which contains blue) but just plain grey.
Ponies with unshorn fetlocks in canon (like Big Macintosh) keep their hoof colors from canon, but are rare exceptions to the rule.

Nice work! The tail thingy reminds me of what the creator of Teen Chrysalis drew as for Her ancient form. Anyway, I like how you've drawn Her here with all those lovely features! ^^

I love how you incorporated insect features into her look! The antennae as her crown, the torn and worn out cicada wings, and the explanation of her waist wrap; It's all absolutely perfect <3
Great work Starry

....You don't know it, but I'm laughing at your typo. You'll see it in a second. I'm not laughing at you, though.
I always thought it wasn't a wrap in universe.
Cicada wings are the coolest non butterfly wings

Wow! Nifty style you drew her in, here
Sort of a bit of dragon or serpent mixed in, what with that tail. I also love the extra details you put into her wings and horn ^^

Aww, thanks <3. Anything in particular did you like? Not necessarily just one thing... ok, that came off more 'tell me that my art is great' than I intended. I just want to know #^-^#

Well, I like the segmentation of her horn, the antennae on her head (I too always thought of those as antennae!), the actual implementation of joints in her legs, the detail to her wings and abdomen,and the translucency of the green segments along her back. So, in general, I really love everything about it!
Wonder what a Unique Style Quasimodo Quartz would look like...

Thanks! My favorite was the plates, because it took a long, long, long time.

This is fantastic! I love how you incorporated more insect-like aspects to balance the pony ones.
