This one immediately hooked my eye with the glowing green eyes contrasting the darkness. She positively commands your attention with those eyes. I also love the extra care you took with her hair in making the strands flow and stand out

Where the highlight shows on her shoulder and hair, it's slightly diminished by a bit of a black outline, which might be my only minor complaint in an otherwise stellar piece. Great work indeed.

Review—
Prompt relevance: moderate
Style: good colors and blending
Background: concrete bunker?
Story potential: moderate
Result: mid tier

This image is fantastic, but the relevance to the prompt exists only through the fact that Chrysalis is a changeling, not through anything presented in the image. It just feels like it should be side by side a picture of Chrysalis’ ponysona.

Chrysalis is a big guy.

Hair and contrast and all that, but my god that brown background almost looks like real, photographed stucco. Or maybe I've lived in a bland hellscape for too long to be able to tell. Either way, the texture work here all around is amazing, especially for something that looks done digitally—or you have a really good scanner.

10/10 would watch a tutorial on how to do this.

From what i can tell the hair is recolored photos of hair stuck together ! I havent seen anyone really mention that just yet so I had to say something ! ( Theres a small section where the brown hair didnt get colored in, i didnt even really register that was what was going on at first glance until i had seen that )

The background is def a stock texture as well, possibly wet media brushes but more than likely stock image. Id call it 100% digital and partially photo manipulated !

( it kills me when people say 'especially for digital work', that was another big prompt for me to jump in here with a 'well actually' comment LOL )

Ah! I see the chunk of hair you're talking about now. Good catch. And, just for clarity, I say "for digital work" because that's the medium I use and I'm absolute tosh at getting anything resembling proper texturing. Anything that beats my low, internalized baseline is impressive to me and I geek out a little bit.

(Art) Thoughts: Whoaaaa yeaaaaaah. Dark and creepy and vivid and stuff. GET SOME.

Hey Artist. I hate to shill my own stuff here, but FYI this inspired a contest-winning Flashfic that I did over on FimFiction as well. So, good on ya for this.

(Art Tier): Vying for top.

Something tells me the artist owns a black cat. Creepy, dark and moody. Upper tier.

I'm glad you liked it.
The black outline is due to me making a huge black blob for Chrissy's general shape and then painting over it.
>>Moosetasm
There's more I wanted to do with this, but I came up with the idea of doing something with her on Friday night, and only had a couple of hours before I had to go to sleep, so I did my best with the time I had. I'll do my best to try to come up with better execution in following rounds.

The hair is actually a texture brush I got recently. I still need some practice to get it looking just right, which is why some parts look so choppy. Still, it gives me a better result than using other brushes.
>>CoffeeMinion
I'm happy to have been helpful.
>>GroaningGreyAgony
What I have are severe allergies, but I would love to have a cat. I really like cats.

Thanks for your nice words, everyone. I'll do my best next rounds too!
