Description What would happen if during the Royal Wedding, Shining Armor and Cadence FAILED to defeat Queen Chrysalis with their spell?
What if after the Queen "dealt" with Shining Armor and Cadence, she manages to manipulate and convert the Mane 6 over to her side, and uses them to win the changling's battle for Equestria?
What would happen if the influence of the Changling's desire and hunger for love, began to...change...the Mane 6 over the many years that passed since the changlings took over Equestria under the rule of Queen Chrysalis?

What if the Elements of Harmony then became the...Elements of Deception?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really like how this one turned out overall, since I always love working with rain and with dark-edgy themes

Huge Credit goes to for making the amazing Changling versions of the Mane 6 used in this piece.
Credit also goes to for the Canterlot Vector in the background

This very well done and the effects with the eyes how they illuminate.

The character design is also acceptable. The ponies themselves are also fine it's really the visual in the background that need work.

It could of been more visual, it's too faded in my opinion. The sky could of been more visual with the clouds, the distant effects of the storm as well as lighting in a matter.

The ground the ponies are on, you can tell it's like a layer on top of them. The characters are great; but the background is key as well as landscape.

It's open to interpretation. She could have killed them, trapped them somewhere, banished them, it's up to you as the viewer to decide

I'm happy it didn't turn out that way. It would have been far too dramatic and gritty for me.

How would Twilight let her brother being killed, by the way?

And where would Luna be?

Buying her time before coming back ... and taking back Equestria *cues "Back in control" from Sabaton*

THIS is what made me despise the Changelings; the fact that they were so closed to winning and had the capacity to make this nightmare scenario happen. And the truth is, as long as Queen Chrysalis is still out there, they will never stop coming until this happens.Β

Meanwhile those ponies that Princess Luna managed to save from Equestria and around the world and secretly transported to a colony on the Moon finally finished their preparations for their crusade generations later, and the end of Changeling rule of Equestria was marked with appearence of massive oval-shaped dropships descending out of the sky, carrying with them a massive crusading army armed to the teeth with futuristic magitech battle tanks, war-bots and aerospace fighters.Β 


The Changelings, driven to stagnation and complacency by centuries of unchallenged rule, stood little chance. Equestria is thus returned to pony rule under Princess Luna.

And it's things like this, that make me want to make the changelings kick MORE flank and cause MORE damage and be MORE unstoppable with every single one of these. Not being negative towards you. But subversive (trope definition) is how I write, so I a lot of what I write in a way that is an inversion of something I saw or experienced somehow. Me trying to balance things out.Β

Fluttershy... the most deceptive of them all...

Fantastic job on this. i really like the glow effect, and the variation in posing plus positioning really adds to it. The large space to the left also adds a desolate, dark atmosphere.

I like this pic, I like it alot.

Though I am not really huge on the idea of changeling Mane 6. Maybe Twilight or Celestia changeling since they seem the most plausible, but other than that it's a turn off.

Still I do like this pic.
