AnonV3: Well, an interesting concept of Chrysalis I have got to hand it to you. Well drawn, well colored (though a bit soft on her body color) and nicely shaded. A bit WIP in the background but, fuck, who looks at those?
TBH, though, I see Canterlot being more Egyptian themed than the Chrysalids. Changlings. Whatever. The parallels between the Pharaoh and Celestia are hard to deny. Course, any sun god/goddess would fit into Celestia's role. Given the more European flavor of Canterlot, Celestia would either be Sol Inviticus a la Rome or ... well. Yeah. If they had been more inventive with the thematic elements, an Egyptian Canterlot would be amazing.
Sorry, lost my train of thought. Anyway, yeah, maybe as Set or even Apep (Apophis). The whole color scheme should maybe be a bit darker for such a correlation ... unless this is Set-Rising, after having taken Atum-Ra's solar barge. Still, well drawn and well colored. A+
Fluffins: @Anonymous: you're right... her head is a little small XC I may go and change that, but it'd be an annoying process to have to stitch it up. and yeah, I had to deliberate on the holes in her hoofs. I decided to not put them in her arms because she has proper hands and it would be hard to incorporate them there. Also, i try my hardest not to bash people. the most you'll get out of me is sarcastic condescension, so don't be too afraid. I appreciate critique on my work, as long as you aren't insulting.
@Anonymous: because it's part of an art trade and K-Ramos requested pharaoh chrysalis
@AnonV3: I really didn't think about the actual parallels or mythology of it. I did an art trade with K-Ramos, and he requested pharaoh chrysalis. it's more fetishy than mythological :P though i'm contemplating looking up some sun/moon godess parallels for Celestia and Luna. and yeah, the background was intentionally sketchy to keep attention off of it and on the figure.
